Sunset Switches are Butter
  • I think he will also have the new silent tactile switches coming soon.

  • I made a sortable-filterable table of keyboards!
  • Very cool, thanks for making this!

  • First keyboard build!
  • Nice work! It's good to see a fellow Dvorak user. The Hillside keyboards have always looked interesting to me.

    Have fun on your keymap journey! Don't be afraid to experiment with different choices, especially for the thumb keys, mods, macros, combos, sticky keys, etc.

  • Review of FK custom – customized MBK keycaps
  • Very cool, thanks for sharing! I've placed two custom keycap orders with FK so far, and I was also very pleased with the results. The first order was placed in January, and the key caps arrived in plastic bags. It wasn't an issue for me though. For the second order, FK switched to the vacuum-packed approach. So it looks like they are learning and improving.

    I am planning another order. I agree that patience is essential when ordering anything special.

  • Very cool! Thanks for sharing your journey. I like the use of cardboard on the underside of the PCB.

    Good luck with learning the new layout. My advice is to not focus so much on WPM and instead remember how much easier it is to type on a better (more optimized) layout.

  • Remixed version of my unsplit/unibody keyboard "BumWings"

    Hi all,

    I'm happy to share my latest "remixed" boards that are evolutions of an unsplit/unibody design that I originally released at the beginning of this year. These designs are heavily inspired by and borrow aspects from a number of other keyboard designs, including bad-wings by Hazel and revxlp by Pete Johanson.

    The remixed designs use Kailh Choc switches with moderate spacing (i.e., not too close). These can have either 55 keys or 64 keys. For each of these sizes, I created a variant that uses a Xiao Seeed module and another variant that uses the Waveshare RP2040-zero module.

    For me, it was important to have inverted T-clusters for navigation. These boards have two clusters, one of which has the arrow keys, and the other has Home/End/PgUp/PgDn. I also wanted to minimize the amount of pinky finger reach on the 64-key designs (since I have relatively short pinky fingers).

    Well, I guess I'm making a controller then
  • Very cool. It looks like this will probably accommodate hot-swap sockets for both MX and Choc switches - correct?

  • Well, I guess I'm making a controller then
  • I will second this request. I might not personally need this (yet) but it is a good option.

  • I turned this touchscreen RP2040 into a touchpad.
  • Very cool indeed! I'd like to see the keyboard integration, once it's ready. Are there enough free pins on this module to handle the GPIOs for a keyboard matrix?

  • I built a keyboard for the Taipo layout
  • Very nice!

    Also, thank you for creating the Ergogen footprint for the RP2040-Zero MCU. I will probably use this for some projects of my own.

  • [PCB Review Request] A choc-spaced 56 key wireless build
  • It's mostly useful for reference. If I open up both the PCB file and the schematic file, clicking on one element of the PCB will highlight the same item in the schematic, so I can double-check connections.

  • [PCB Review Request] A choc-spaced 56 key wireless build
  • Hi, this looks interesting to me. I will happily take a look at this for you. Do you have the KiCad schematic file as well (with file extension ".kicad_sch")?
