Keyboard Builders' Digest / Issue 19
The Nils Olav, named after a famous Scotch penguin, is an easy to build ortho keyboard by u/twigulus with lefty numpad (source).
-
Designed this quite unusual simple-to-build ortho with a lefty numpad (and a little penguin on it). Really pleased with it!
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)

Designed a super easy to build but quite unusual ortho keyboard with lefty numpad. Really pleased with how it turned out! [keyboard science]
There's a github repo here if anyone wants to build one themselves!

handwire hotswap prototype
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.

Hot swap sockets in hand-wired build?
I've had great succes with these: https://github.com/stingray127/handwirehotswap
- Hot swappable or nah

Which Arduio's and wires will I need for my build?
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.
