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

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...

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):

ZMK + Cirque trackpad?
I saw this same question was posted half a year ago and was wondering if anyone knew of any updates. Looks like this development branch of ZMK is stalled.

Nice!view not working when leds are turned on?
Not sure which information you mean, but here goes. Nice!Nano v2 Pinout (shows Arduino pin mapping). Nice!View Getting Started (explains how to remap the CS pin for a non-native shield like Corne). The overlay file where "cs-gpios" is set for the nice_view_adapter in ZMK. If you look at the Corne Schematic, you'll see as shown in the labels in this image that the bottom two pins (B2, B4, B5, B6) don't appear to be used for a column, row, or the OLED header. But the only way to really verify is to pull the KiCAD file for your Corne version and check yourself. I think D0 ("Data") should work. It appears to go to an optional I2C connection.

Steps for troubleshooting a new build Corne? (First timer)
if you built the firmware using the corne shield that might be the issue. the splitkb aurora corne has a different pinout.

Options for Chocofi keyboard
Depending on a controller you will be programming features of your keyboard using QMK or ZMK (there are alternatives but these two are the most popular). You can check documentation of these tools regarding display but some nice sum up is in the related article on splitkb: https://docs.splitkb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010533820-What-can-you-use-an-OLED-display-for-

Addicted to moonlander but in need of something more portable
corne-ish zen, the group buy is long over but there is an extras round coming up. I suggest going on the discord if you're interested in knowing when they'll be available for sale. it is a prebuilt so you can just buy it whole and have it ready to use out of the box and runs on ZMK.

Any new Ploopies? :-)
I would be pretty interested in a wireless Ploopy. Especially if it runs ZMK since that is what I currently use for a split keyboard. It would be pretty awesome to link the macros and layers between my keyboard and mouse if the mouse could be a second peripheral "half" of the keyboard. Admittedly, ZMK's mouse support is still kinda beta, but the wireless support is amazing.

What's a very simple config change that you can't live without?
The other firmware I wrote for my wireless programable keyboard based on ZMK.

Wireless Sofle RGB in a low profile case.
The code to enable the second encoder is outlined in this Pull Request https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/pull/728, but since it's not in the main ZMK codebase, to use this feature you need to roll your own ZMK with this PR included. And luckily there is already a kind person who did this in https://github.com/narze/zmk/pull/2

Keyboard for Carpel Tunnel
Try the Kinesis Advantage Pro because you can customize with ZMK. If you have DIY skills and want to customize event further. There's the open source version. Spit keyboards with QMK are good too.
