Rolio 46.1 Design Files Released - Lemmy.World
Hi All, I’ve just released all of the design files for the Rolio 46.1 keyboard.
They can be found on GitHub below:
https://github.com/MickiusMousius/Rolio46Keyboard
[https://github.com/MickiusMousius/Rolio46Keyboard] I’ve used a vendor flair
here (first time) as I’ll be opening a store in January to sell sub-assemblies &
components to make it easier for people to build their own Rolio 46.1 without
needing to chase as many components. Cheers MickiusMousius Here are a few more
pictures too: With travel case

Rolio 0.9 Update - Lemmy.world
Hi All, Here’s ht latest update to the Rolio split keyboard. It’s now almost
done, it just needs some minor cosmetic and manufacturability tweaks. The GitHub
repo is here: https://github.com/MickiusMousius/RolioKeyboard
[https://github.com/MickiusMousius/RolioKeyboard]
[https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f06b8241-40d6-41b4-a500-d1cc3a972ed6.png] A
quick run down on the features (so far): - The keyboard itself - Fully wireless
thanks to the Nice!Nano controllers and awesome ZMK firmware - Excellent battery
life, I’ve personally been getting 2+ weeks before it gets to 60% with the
previous iteration. - A low profile, compact choc spaced form factor that is
similar to the Corne - Additional “Sometimes” buttons on the bottom row just
like the Sofle - Horizontal roller encoders on both halves - A backlight that is
efficient enough to be used on battery - A robust chassis so that it can be
treated like a normal keyboard - An FDM version for at home low cost production
- A CNC option for a slick look and very premium feel - A travel case that can
easily be made using any FDM printer - ZMK Keymap & Custom keycaps: - The
keycaps are fully customized and match the ZMK keymap thanks to FKCaps - MacOS
and Windows modes as part of the keymap to keep the “same” handy macros in both
OSs - All of the symbols and special behaviors can be accessed using at most two
keys - The settings keys and different modes are documented in the key caps
themselves (easy to learn). - The keymap can be easily customized thanks to ZMK,
the keycaps can also be customized to suit your needs
Rolio 0.1 Pre-Release - Lemmy.world
I’ve made the 0.1 design available to the public now. Ive been using it for a
few weeks myself and its quite nice to use, particularly with the aluminium
chassis (the GitHub repo has FDM and CNC designs). In any case, for those
curious the GitHub is here: https://github.com/MickiusMousius/RolioKeyboard
[https://github.com/MickiusMousius/RolioKeyboard] I am working on the V1.0
model, PCB’s should arrive in a few days. I think the V1.0 release should best
good enough for others to make. The current model is nice, but there are a lot
of improvements in the pipeline particularly regarding aesthetics. V1.0 sample
below:

Rolio Progress (it works!) - Lemmy.world
I’ve been working on a design for a split keyboard that is a hybrid between a
Corne and a Sofle. So fair the electrical and software aspects work, I still
need to sort out the chassis. Some features: - Efficient backlight circuit (at
100% it uses 20mA) - Custom MBK Choc caps from fkcaps.com [http://fkcaps.com]
(the glow is awesome) - ~250mAh battery (still low profile as there’s a hole in
the PCB for the battery) - Dual EVQ encoders - Fully wireless using Nice Nanos -
The layman has MacOS and Windows modes - Choc spacing Once I’ve got the chassis
done and I’ve cleaned everything up a bit I’ll open source it. Here’s a preview
of the chassis design so far: [https://i.imgur.com/6mKZB63.jpg]
New Corne Choc Wireless Chasis & Travel Case

New Corne Choc Wireless Chasis & Travel Case - Lemmy.world
Hi all, I made a chasis & travel case for my Corne so I could take it to & from
work easily whilst testing the Corne form factor. So far it has been working
quite well for me. Hopefully someone else might also find it useful. In the mean
time I’m working on a new keyboard design that has the same basic form factor as
a Corne with the following additions: * Since I move between Windows & Mac I’ve
added two additional buttons to the bottom row. * I’ve added EVQ encoders in the
place of TRS jacks as the build is 100% wireless. * I’ve also increased the
battery size to ~250mAh without changing build thickness. * I’ve added a single
colour backlight circuit. * A fully 3D printable chassis & travel case. *
Depending on the cost I’ll also be doing an aluminium case, but I think that may
be too expensive (I’ll see I guess). Boards are coming from JLPCB soon, if the
whole thing works I’ll open source it & post here.
I made a case for the Sofle Choc 2.1 wireless

I made a case for the Sofle Choc 2.1 wireless - Lemmy.world
I’ve been slowly accumulating knowledge to build my own custom keyboard. In
order to do that I wanted to use some other people’s designs. In the process I
made a 3D printable case for my first ergo mech keyboard. This case is for the
standard Sofle 2.1 Choc with nice nano controllers and nice view displays, setup
as fully wireless. I’ve not managed to get the right encoder to play nice yet, I
suppose that’s part of the fun. In any case, I hope someone may also find this
case useful either as is or a basis for something better.
