Soldering wires to key switches completed on the lefthand side. Need to test that all the switches work, then I can start wiring the I/O expander in place.

Finished building my new hardwired split mechanical keyboard this weekend! #3dprinted based on my own design, spray painted and powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico W’s. Of course, it’s running my fave #keyboard firmware #KMK! Sadly #CircuitPython doesn’t yet support BLE on the PicoW so it’s not wireless yet, but I’m just counting down the days!

Finished my new keyboard! it’s an evolution of my old keyboard with some function keys and media keys moved to the top right so I stop pressing mute instead of ctrl! It is a little taller than I like but the design I layered so I think I can shave off at least 5mm without too much hassle (probably more!)

Following the failure of my #cyberdeck project, I decided to extract the 3d-printed, hand-wired mechanical keyboard I hand wired and turn it into a standalone jobby. Here’s some before, during and after shots. Just waiting on the USB-C breakout so I can have the cable come from a more sensible direction.

Second half looks a fair bit better. Not perfect, but I'm not sure I can do better.

Now to add the controller.

Don't zoom in.

Regardless I'm reasonably proud, and learned a lot.
