Title: Custom Keyboard with Bluetooth,42 keys, mouse pointer, charger, and flash drive
Post by: LanceBuilt on Tue, 28 April 2020, 12:07:37

This is what I have so far:

My hands hurt most of the time so I wanted a keyboard where my fingers wouldn't have to move more than one key over in any direction.

You may have noticed that I have wired a weird 6x7 key matrix but that is only because I had to in order to use the available pins for XY direction, battery voltage, BlueTooth, and RGB LED. I am redesigning the case to hold the battery charger and thumb drive holder and should have the new stuff printed up soon.
Let me know what you think or if you have any questions. I'll add updates as it progresses.

Love the DIY look with everything exposed, it's even hand polished!
