KiCad plugin for mechanical keyboard design
there is more. This plugin is a base for another, slightly more experimental tool of mine: https://github.com/adamws/keyboard-tools which I host of lowest tier linode server accessible here: https://keyboard-tools.xyz/

mongus48, the newest magnetic keyboard module
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.

A demo of my magnetic and modular macropad
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.
