Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: I spent a year designing an low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
Depends a lot. If you want it fully assembled, you have to go to larger fab houses like PCBway, and spend a few hundred bucks on a 5pc batch. If you can hand-solder some parts (in this case, the Bluetooth module and the USB connector) and design the rest around jlcpcbs libraries, you can get away with 20-30USD per unit (MOQ of 5) plus shipping/customs. Then add another 10USD for the bluetooth module and USB connector.
A simpler wired design like my E80-1800 (https://github.com/ebastler/E80-1800) can be completely assembled by jlc for ~30ish USD per unit.
Oddly enough, small-batch prototyping at jlc can be cheaper than medium sized (50-150 pc) runs at other fabs.
Hope this doesn't sound like an ad, I've compared a lot of prices and nobody came close to jlcpcb, but With their limitations (limited stock, limited finish/color choices, frequently chnaging stocks and component prices) and sometimes far-from-ideal QC (some scratches can happen, in rare cases even missing components that were present in the BOM) they are not really my first choice for production runs. For prototypes or small unofficial-ish batches with a few friends though - god tier.

Nyan Keys - An FPGA Based Mechanical Keyboard I Engineered for Low Latency - Open Source
Nice - a friend and I worked on my keyboard's debouncer and call it "eager debouncing", not sure if there's an official term for it. I agree that it's much better for latency.

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Awhile ago I made an remote infrared sending tool so a raspberry pi can control my A/C unit
https://blog.bschwind.com/2016/05/29/sending-infrared-comman...
Since then I made a much slimmer, cheaper, more efficient version based on the ESP32 but I haven't written up much about that.
I also created my own keyboard with firmware in Rust
https://github.com/bschwind/key-ripper
I've done a bunch of other small one-off projects too.

2nd post about my first pcb(added pictures)
Good luck! I have an open source keyboard project in KiCad as well, feel free to reference or use anything from it.

Yet another keyboard post, or, introducing ErgoNICE
Not sure if the author of the post is around, but I guess this is a question for anyone who has designed keyboards: have you ever tried using shift registers for reading all the keyswitch inputs, and is it worth it? Does it mean you don't have to use a diode per switch?
I've designed my own as well but just went with the traditional key matrix with a diode per switch. Works well enough for the current size.

[Review Request] RP2040-based keyboard
All the source files can be found here
- Point keycaps? Yes.

Drop Giveaway Day 2 - 5x DCX Dolch Keycap Sets
I made my own keyboard layout just the way I want so I would put these caps on that, or replace the stock caps that came with my Filco board.

Can you run rust on the new raspberry pi pico w?
You can absolutely run Rust on the pico - I designed a keyboard with Rust firmware which runs on an RP2040. That being said, wireless functionality might not be existent yet in the Rust world for the Pico W, but I'm sure it won't take long to get added.

[Review] RP2040 Keypad
I looked at the schematic and it seems reasonable. I just completed an RP2040 project with USB C and it works correctly. You can see the project files here
