nilsolav VS handwirehotswap

The Nils Olav, named after a famous Scotch penguin, is an easy to build ortho keyboard by u/twigulus with lefty numpad (source).

A github repo with design files, firmware and a build guide is here: https://github.com/ajharvie/nilsolav (yes it's named after a penguin)

There's a github repo here if anyone wants to build one themselves!

I am trying to make my keyboards hotswappable without the need for PCB or complicated assembly. I found https://github.com/stingray127/handwirehotswap but the design can only work with 1 switch at a time, and I found that the solid core wires I got are pretty soft so the contact doesn't seem very robust.

I've had great succes with these: https://github.com/stingray127/handwirehotswap

Ooh ooh, I know something. I've been experimenting a lot myself lately. I've been socketing the MCU and have both Nice!nano and some other pro micros that I hotswap. Then I've been printing a bunch of these: https://github.com/stingray127/handwirehotswap to quickly rewire and move switches around.

3d printed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4791318, the wiring detail is listed here: https://github.com/stingray127/handwirehotswap

I just did a Skeletyl with Nice!nano and very little soldering. Achieved this via these: https://github.com/stingray127/handwirehotswap

I built a 4x6 dactyl manuform this week using printed hotswap sockets from https://github.com/stingray127/handwirehotswap

Github, for extensive documentation on how to use it.
