The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Budget Split Keyboard
- Here's a build guide https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/blob/master/docs/buildguide_rev2021.4_budget.md / video log https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhKnluxdRtA
- CH552-48: 4x12 Ortho using Low-cost CH552 MCU
- What are the best designs to cheap out? E.g. Reviung34 only needs 1 controller.

Gaming with Trackball vs Mouse Comparison
Ah, it's a custom PCB design https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/ and the design takes a clear inspiration from the Lumberjack PCB https://github.com/peej/lumberjack-keyboard

If you can't be good, be colorful
Keyboard. Keycaps are MDA profile from Melgeek. Keyboard PCB is custom PCB. https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs Devboard is a WeAct Studio MiniF4 "Blackpill", which runs Arm (so allows e.g. firmware with Rust, or KMK, or more bells/whistles from QMK).

Finding SN74LVC1T45DBV replacement for 3.3 to 5V logic
Hi, I'm planning on building a mechanical keyboard and found this SN74LVC1T45DBV in the schematic which is used to convert a 3.3v signal to 5v so that the RGB LEDs receive data reliably, as per component shortage those are hard to find and quite expensive since I just need two and it doesn't seem that critical to me (low current and common voltage from 3.3 to 5) but I don't know how to look for an alternative do you have any suggestion on how to look for one other than footprint (sot-23-6in this case) as I don't really understand enough on this datasheet to find one myself and this is the last part to find before ordering the electronics. If that matters I'm buying most of the electronics from china (to avoid 20€ shipping from mouser and similar for just basic components) and mechanics from another site. I think it's on-topic but if it's not feel free to remove the post

Lumberjack-inspired ARM-powered Ortho 5x12 in GH-60 Case
Gerbers and lasercutting assets can be found at: https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/releases/tag/x2-rev2021.1 (with sources to generate these made available in the main repo).

bgkeeb - cheap (or free!) split pcb with a lot of features! see post comment for details
Ah, I hope it's not too rude of me to say I'd had a go at designing a keyboard to a similar spec. https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/releases/

Questions about hand wired board
I recently made a low-budget build, + wrote a build guide here: https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/blob/master/docs/buildguide_rev2021.4_budget.md There are a number of sub-100x100mm PCBs which would be similarly cheap. Not quite as cheap as hand-wired, but much less effort required.

cost of building
https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/ I have a design which is also smaller than 100x100, but use a more powerful dev board than the pro micro.

The T-34/2 keyboard layout
I used one of the forks of xsznix's optimizer (I believe it was Tretygon/keygen) which adds a useful "SWAPPABLE_MAP" configuration that specifies which key positions the simulated annealing is allowed to change. I used this to freeze j and k in their Dvorak positions while optimizing the rest of the keys.

Recommended keylogger/layout analyzer?
I've had a hard time finding tools that let me analyze what keys I use most often. I've found https://github.com/Tretygon/keygen and http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/ thanks to this sub, but they both don't claim to analyze special characters, which are important to me as a software developer. Are there any off-the-shelf tools for analyzing a keyboard layout? I'm not interested in writing my own keylogger. I'm on macOS, for reference. I'd also be curious about Linux tools as well!

Made a video explaining how I made a 34 key keymap. Might be useful for those wondering how so few keys are usable!
if you use a keyboard layout analyzer or evolutionary based generator like (https://github.com/Tretygon/keygen) , to create/analyze keymaps, is that not more based on scientific facts then?
