Comment on A complete guide to building a hand-wired keyboard (2020)parent

Comments

Couple years ago I started building my own keyboard from scratch. Custom PCB, custom circuit design, custom MCU, custom programming, custom CNC-ed enclosure, some custom keys... In hindsight I should have relaxed a bit on building everything custom and then maybe I would have finished it.

The main idea was to get a keyboard with built in steno and ability to get programmed any way I want. It would also have a small built in OLED display to aid some of the functionality.

Another idea was to have built in mouse (trackpoint + keys that can be used as mouse keys).
