Handwired keyboard question:

As I was using my keyboard, suddenly a during a keypress (in the "row" of two keys in the middle) the entire column is being triggered (and flickering). I checked the connections on the keys but I could not find any shorts.

What could this be? Should I resolder everything just to be sure?

After a few hours of scratching my head about the diode wiring, my #diy #dactyl #manuform #splitkeyboard is wired up and working!

Now I need to do the other half 😭

The thick enamel wire is horrible to solder to (at least I'm sure there won't be any shorts!) and the config is really confusing to reason about.

But it's all set up with #Vial #QMK so at least I can change the keymap without recompiling/flashing!

One of these days, I'll...

  • Get a 3D printer (or find someone near me who has one)
  • Print a #Dactyl #manuform
  • Learn how to soldier and whatnot
  • Assemble a keyboard

Of course, I'm never going to do any of that. I'll save up some money to have someone do all that, so I get to do the fun parts of playing with it.

I just never really tried a keyboard with wells, and I'm incredibly curious, even though I'm totally happy with my Model 100. But that damned curiosity...

Primerjava: stari dactyl 6x5 in ta novi manuform 6x4.

Manjkata samo se 2 stvari:
- sprintat je treba spodnji del, da se bo lepo zaprl
- treba je najt neke samolepilne gume proti drsenju
