Howdy Limentic! I registered to be able to comment! I've been working on a mechanical magic keyboard since May 2022 (yeah I know I'm slow). I'm slowly working on a write-up, but I should have been releasing incremental updates as you've done! I searched again on a whim (since nothing came up in 2022), and your post came up. The dedication to scan the matrix and hand-label it is nuts! I created a PCB with several mux chips (CD74H) so I can just scan the matrix while I press each key. I used a full-sized one as a few others have done, but I'm using Gateron low-profile switches to try and keep it similar to the trackpad I have at work. I intend to have the numpad detachable and able to clip to either side with magnets and pogo pins, but I think I'm still a ways off.Thanks Matthew, scanning the matrix using mux chips is also a good approach to the problem, but because I'm kinda broke, cheap, and I don't value my time The hand-labeling process of the matrix seemed like a good idea at the time! (And I am very proud of the beautiful wallpaper I've created in the meantime )
Anyway- long way of saying awesome job and thank you!
I randomly remembered your Post on LTT Forums and decided to make an account here to express my support for this huge undertaking of such an interesting project! I love mechanical keyboards and Apple's Magic Keyboard, so seeing someone trying to marry the two is such a damn cool concept!
Omg you're the best!!! They came out awesome, you did great and thanks for doing it so quickly.Would anyone be able to do either or both of these pretty please?Show ImageShow Image

Hello, This is the best that I could come up, the pc one doesn't really look the part that much because I'm not that great with pixel art (or even sure that an effect like that can be done, if anyone more experienced with pixel art can help with that than it would be appreciated)
Looks a bit jank at points but hope you are happy with them anyway. Let me know if you want me to change more smaller stuff like the keycap colour.Show ImageShow Image
The stain finish silver looks pretty intriguing on that Aperture board!!Thank you for your appreciation.
Def wanna try. GLWIC
Tp4 went pixel for android to avoid samsun's slow/never software updates.
The China fones look pretty nice, but their support is even worse than samsun.
But the pixel generates in Tp4 a deep seated unease about joining the google-sphere so intimately.Show Image
