A custom tenkeyless keyboard designed to be thin, sleek, and nice.
These 10 hours were filled with forgetfulness and pain, made lots of mistakes :))))
Finished the PCB, had a couple issues with unconnected pins, errors, and edge.cuts n stuff
Coded keyboard in QMK, uploaded to git repo, pretty simple
Most of time was spent designing the case/cover for the keyboard, had lots of roadblocks along the way though….
Firstly, I forgot how to actually sketch? I don’t know how it happened
Then, I forgot that I need a top shell for my keyboard…
Had a couple other issues with placing of switches and parts, but CAD is now Mostly done, just gotta figure out mounting/putting it all together, and making a slot for the MicroUSB cable
Started work on 80% keyboard!
1st attempt didn’t work to well - the wiring was a mess, so I ended up redoing the matrix and scaling down from 104 to 87.
Working on CAD for it now, planning on doing something cool with wooden filament.
