Here is an entire post typed on my very own #handwired split #keyboard! It's not finished, but all letter keys are now working.

The biggest challenge for me now is to figure out how to wire everything together inside the enclosure. There's not a lot of space and I don't have many good ideas on how to it neatly.

I'll figure something out though (I hope).

Another glamour shot of the 5×2 #handwired #dactyl #keyboard. The middle key in the left column now works as Shift_R (working on modifier keys).
Soldering continues and now I got a working 2×5 button #handwired #keyboard! Implements a6ofdb plus space, backspace and enter!

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

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?

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.

The moment when the chinese clone is better than original, waveshare RP2040-Zero, it might have less GPIO, but USB-C port is the winner. I have no ideas what was RPI foundation thinking about using micro-usb port in theirs RPI Pico #rpipico #waveshare this will be brain of my next #handwired #keyboard
