Post by: Keyboard_Warrior364 on Wed, 20 November 2024, 13:05:48

Hello everyone I would like to share with you a project that I've spent the last several months on.

Here is a short, 4min video of the design and construction process, for those interested.

Specs:
- 3x4 key matrix
- Low profile design with Kailh choc switches
- 2 rotary encoders
- OLED for showing what each key represents as well which layer you on
-Compatible with multiple PRO Micro format controller boards
- CNC machined aluminium case, anodized in grey
- RGB under switches and RGB illuminated strip on the PCB

If anyone is interested I can share the schematic of the keyboard.
