Finally calling this done! Say hello to the HellSplit a hand-wired, asymmetric 40% split #ortholinear keyboard with vertical column stagger and two rotary encoders. Powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico's #RP2040 and #KMK firmware

Woof! That was a hell of a session! Just need to trim off a little bit of rod in the middle columns and then I can start soldering up the microcontroller. Unfortunately it’s a little too late to turn on the Dremel! Absolutely in love with using copper rods instead of wire though, it’s sooo pretty!

Spent an hour desoldering switches from an old #keyboard so I could run my new custom #3dprinted #orthonlinear at the same time as my old board just in case this didn’t work out for me. I’m still not sure if I want to keep the full F-key row. Just waiting for some copper rods to arrive and I can get to soldering!

Made a new #mechanicalkeyboard! It’s a Charybdis Nano designed by bastardkb, and it’s not for me, it’s for @joenash. This time, I #3dprinted the case, but no handwiring - really cool flexible PCBs. It works non-tented too. Do you want a silly keyboard? I like talking about keyboards and soldering stuff, so maybe I can help. Say hi!

I stumbled on this super rare (can only find one single result of it even existing and it’s a YouTube video just showing how it sounds, with zero info) mechanical #keyboard from the early 1980s.

It’s made by “C.P Clare & Co” which is apparently previously known as Clare Pendar, who seem to have made industrial switches for mainframes and stuff? I can’t find any information on the keyboard itself, what it belonged to, or any of that. The model number doesn’t come up anywhere. Hopefully one day someone sees this and can comment.
