Hey,
Another new member here. Been browsing for a while though!
I recently joined the MD drop for the CM switch tester. And that got me thinking, it seems such a waste of money. I could have gotten plenty of switches for the same amount of money.
So why not make use of it, and handwire a teensy.
But that would total at about $40 for just 6 keys.
So using the teensy just seems way more expensive then needed.
So why not design a small pcb with a basic controller, that still allows nkro, 1 or 2 function layers (resulting in 10 and 12 functioning keys each)
How would I design such a thing, and if it ever gets to being produced, would it be worthwile and not overly expensive?
Regards,
Thomas
