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.

Created a complete set of keycaps (222!) optimized for 3D printing that actually look pretty nice
The script that generated these keycaps is also there but you'll probably need to modify it a bit for it to work in your environment: https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground/blob/master/scripts/gem_full.py
- Feedback wanted on custom keycap. Low-ish profile, first prototype.

Show HN: An analog keyboard with 3D printed switches
I made a 3D printed keyboard with 3D printed switches + stabilizers and sent it to Chyrosran22 for review.
Longer story: Chyros suggested about 5 months ago that I make an "ultra bright" RGB LED keyboard that used my 3D printable Void Switch design (https://github.com/riskable/void_switch) so he could do a fun "RGB" video. I designed the PCB, the case, the top plate, switches, stabilizers, rotary encoders, etc from scratch and the keyboard in the video is the result.
The keyboard hardware was actually done within the first 3 months but I needed some extra time to add lighting effects to the firmware to meet the "fancy RGB" requirement :)
It's actually my 2nd normal-size analog keyboard design. The first being my Riskeyboard 70 which used a MAX7219 LED matrix display and regular (non-XL) ws2812b RGB LEDs: https://gfycat.com/firsthanduniformeasteuropeanshepherd
Not shown in his video: The top plates have no electronics in them which means they're completely waterproof and can be washed in a sink with soap & water: https://gfycat.com/unconsciousvigilantkinglet . Also, the incremental rotary encoder and absolute rotary encoder (aka "the selection knob") are analog as well (using a custom design).
The keycaps were 3D printed as well and designed using my Keycap Playground: https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground

▯: Thanks to 3D printing my coding mistakes are now manifesting themselves in the real world
I wrote a script that generates entire sets of keycaps using my Keycap Playground: https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground

Switch Stem Strength - KeysV2 and Void Switches
Also note that split Cherry MX stem in KeyV2 is very fragile no matter what style of printing you use. I've had nothing but trouble with that which is why I developed my own stem types in the Keycap Playground: https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground
- Design, prototyping and manufacturing are hard work, but results like these make it all worth it 😉

Making a Space Cadet themed keyset... Antique keyboards sure did have some strange legends
I just made them with the Keycap Playground (https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground) and printed them with the default orientation (on their side). I didn't even use the "Side Supports" feature. They fit great 👍
- I see your puny, pathetic 20 PPM rotary encoders... and I raise you a 100 PPM encoder taken from a CNC!

Logitech MX Mechanical
> I wish the customization options and custom keycaps, etc. would trickle to down to the non-mechanical market.
Just get a 3D printer and all your cheap, completely custom keycap desires will be answered...
https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground
I'm typing on Keycap Playground keycaps right now:

Also, that gif is of my completely custom analog hall effect keyboard that uses 3D printed Void Switches which you can also customize to your heart's delight:
https://github.com/riskable/void_switch
(Make them feel however you like since the design is parametric and you can customize the feel by changing the total travel, distance between the magnets at rest, etc)
For reference, I'm spending most of my time working on the firmware so that I can start selling some (though "the plan" is mostly surrounding selling PCBs/kits and "print it your damned self!" hehe). Here's the numpad I've been working on lately (to develop the firmware):

Unicomp Inc.'S "New" Model M Keyboard
I can suggest the following, I had three advantage 2s before picking up my 360pro.
I modded all of the 2s with the following boards:
* https://github.com/kinx-project/kint - Great board, requires usb of course. Programmable with QMK.
* https://github.com/wizarddata/Blue-Wizard-Mod - Doesn't support QMK but does support ZMK but is bluetooth. Great board.
I picked the kint up on some pcbway type service, the blue wizard I got off ebay.

Current best option for modding KA2?
Is Stapelberg's Kint with a Blackpill the suggested approach nowadays?

Those of you who have used a keywell board (e.g. dactyl) but came to prefer a flat one... what were your reasons?
I have a KinT board in my Advantage2 keyboards, gives you all the QMK goodness.

Help Flashing Teensy 4.0
I assumed you tried using the link for kinesis_kint41_default.hex from https://github.com/kinx-project/kint/tree/main/default-firmware and it did not work. It is difficult to download individual files from github if the file is not text.

KinTed Kinesis Advantage2 with Tai-Hao Dark Tunnel keycaps
Some time ago, I replaced the default SmartSet controller board by a KinT board (produced by JLCPCB) with a Teensy LC controller to run QMK. It's splendid and I like it so much more than the default SmartSet firmware. Also makes it easier to keep the 360 Pro and the Advantage2 in sync.

Old Kinesis Keyboard Firmware?
You mean Stapelberg's own Kint? It's also great, I use it in two KA2s (only not my work KA2).
What are some alternatives?
keyberon - A rust crate to create a pure rust keyboard firmware.
VimMotionApp - Access macOS UI elements with your fingers stay on keyboard. Inspired by vim-easymotion & avy-mode.
