Sporniket's custom keyboard mk1
Posted: 30 Nov 2024 19:01
Since almost two decades I own a typematrix 2030 with blank keys, with a bepo layout configured on my computer. For years I was fancying making my own keyboard, and I progressed today by building the first piece of a first try at it :
This is just the matrix of keys for the left hand of what will be a split, wireless and ortholinear keyboard. The color scheme and arrangement of the keycaps are obviously inspired by the Amstrad CPC 464 (never got one, but I remember young me daydreaming before it in front of a stationnary store that put it on display, just because of this colorful keyboard)
The PCB of the matrix : https://github.com/sporniket/eight-by-s ... d-hardware
The mounting plate for the keys : https://github.com/sporniket/eight-by-s ... oard-plate
The next step will be to design a prototype driver board, to be plugged on the double connectors located at north of the matrix.
