I built a column staggered keyboard with firmware written in Rust!
I'm quite happy with the result and have been daily driving the board for almost two months. The typing experience is greatly improved as the placing of the keys is based around my hand shape. Additional information including the hardware files and the pre-built firmware are available on GitHub. Thank you all for joining me on this adventure and to all the crate maintainers for allowing people like me to build things we never thought we could.

I built a column staggered keyboard with firmware written in Rust!
As someone who had only done embedded programming in the Arduino IDE, utilizing the defmt crate for logging with OpenOCD and GDB was an amazing experience. Although I still had no idea on to implement USB-HID for actually sending the key reports, until I discovered the usbd-human-interface-device crate and everything became so much easier. I just needed to create an iterator over Keyboard events and the crate would handle the rest as an added benefit the crate also supports multiple devices, so adding mouse support was as easy as creating a separate iterator over WheelMouseReport.
What are some alternatives?
