  • Idea: script for generating QMK keymap and diagram

    I have some hobby hours I could devote, but I'm not convinced of the need. Also worth mentioning: Keyboard Layout Editor allows a lot of customization of the diagrams

    Any good, mostly-automatic tooling to go from a Keyboard Layout Editor (KLE)[1] JSON to a laid-out (not necessarily routed) PCB design in something like KiCad?

  • The unix69 keyboard layout: nerdy and nice
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Aug 2023
    For my preferred layout in QMK, I have Caps Lock mapped to Caps Lock only on tap, and Control on hold. I also have the right Alt key mapped to Backspace on tap, Alt on hold, to give me an additional backspace which I can hit with my thumb, keeping the rest of my fingers on the home row.

    2 projects | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 5 May 2023
    Idk man, I binge watched more hours of keyboard content, than I'd ever like to admit with how little I've done with that. I guess, I get obsessive easily.Check out Joe Scotto for amazingly clean and tidy handwired boards, Ben Vallack for insane minimalistic crazy designs and layout content.There's Keyboard Layout Editor that works nicely with plate generator and QMK firmware generator so there's one workflow. Also check out ergogen, it's amazing, although I didn't learn KiCAD yet, so never used it to create anything more than a quick visualisation. There's lots of great materials on how keyboards are build and how they work. QMK docs have very insightful handwiring guide.

    I use http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ to create an image and use AutoHotkey to pop it up when I need it using hotkey(s), it also has help for the hotkeys for Windows, my AutoHotkey script and piles of applications so I can quickly reference app hotkeys when I'm memorizing them or for the less common ones I can't remember.
  • I printed an ortho 41 Key and named it after my dog
    2 projects | /r/HandwiredKeyboards | 16 Apr 2023
    This is Stardust, named after my dog Ziggy. It's a 41 Key Ortho. My goal with this keyboard was to be able to see if I could fully realize it without ordering anything besides switches. I used an old blank ABS keycap set, some stabs I had laying around, and a Elite C controller. Then I 3D printed the case, and added M2 bolts and threaded inserts to hold it together. I ordered Kiwi switches and designed everything myself using Keyboard Layout Editor, ai03 Plate Generator, KBFirmware and Fusion 360. It was printed on an Ender 3.
