banime40 VS beyblock20

Excellent taste. My keymap is my own homebrew layout that's suitable for casual use and programming, which I have humbly given the name of TypeBeastXDPlus Home Edition. The one in the top left is one of my first projects: the gasket mounted banime40

The switches are held with a middle plate that is sized to the mx switches and fits it in. You can see that here https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40/tree/master/case/stl . Click on the plate

The creator of the board has much better pictures than I do here: https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40

Wanted a 4x10 keyboard and stumbled upon the Banime40(https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40) made by u/sporewoh. I am used to having a keyboard that is basically just keys, switches and a PCB so I skipped 3D printing the case and this is the result.

the 40% is a banime40 an open sourced board https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40 . The creator had spare parts and i managed to snag components and a printed case from him. huge shoutouts to u/sporewoh , who has created a ton of designs, like his latest modular magnetic macropad was trending here.

I have a banime40 with this USB-C Pro Micro from keeb.io. I'm using QMK Toolbox 0.2.2. It connects, flashes, then disconnects

It’s free and open source here! https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40. I’m not planning to sell them as kits yet, though I may be able to in the foreseeable future. All updates with be open sourced though

I understand I would need to program it using KMK, but I just wanted to make sure I can use the Pi Pico as a replacement for the Pro Micro in the banime40, the board I want to order.

gotta download the entire repo in my experience, on the main page https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40 click the green code button and download zip

3D printed one I made! There's some details in my repository if you're interested

I want to introduce the newest magnetic module to the beyblock20 family: mongus48. It’s a Planck sized keyboard with an OLED display and a rotary encoder. I thought this was an important module to make for this system, since a fair of people hinted at wanting a full sized keyboard they could add peripherals on to, more so than making a keyboard from the peripherals they have.

It’s still in a prototyping phase, though the current designs are open source, for anyone to make new modules for or remix it however they want. For source files and information, check out the GitHub page here: https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/beyblock20. This is a design I think is really cool, but not one I personally need, let me know how much further you’d like to see this project progress.
