Flux Keyboard
As far as I know the "other times this has been tried" all have had individual displays (and controllers) in each key. The difference being that here there is just one panel under the whole board with most of the parts above the display being transparent. This approach should be far less complicated to build, more robust and cheaper.
Honestly, I don't think I need an LCD in my keyboard but I'd quite like to have a go on some mAgLeV hall effect switches! On that note, if you like magnets and/or keebs you might be interested in Void switches[0] -- 3D printable hall effect switches

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

The pool of talented C++ developers is running dry
Haha... So I can use my awesome contactless magnetic separation+levitation 3D printable Void Switch design of course:
https://github.com/riskable/void_switch
...and so I can do this:

..and this:

You can clean it in the sink with soap and water because there's no electrical contacts or components in the switches.
... But that's really just scratching the surface of what it can do.
- I'd like to create a 3d printed switch, mainly to see what UV resin sounds and feels like. I've searched high and low for files of such a thing, but no joy. Can anyone help?

Has anyone tried making a tiny, ergonomic piano "keyboard"?
Answering myself: the void switches by riskable can be used as analogic switches. It's an open source project: https://github.com/riskable/void_switch

Two state switch?
If you wanted to try to do something DIY you could build something with riskable's void switch and adapt his firmware to do this. Since hall effect sensors are analogue, you program the set and reset point and can set multiple. Although, I do wonder how easy it is to reliably use this feature, but that's the fun in experimentation.

Physical buttons clearly outperform touchscreens in new cars, test finds
> "Instead of developing, manufacturing and keeping physical buttons in stock for years to come, car manufacturers are keen on integrating more functions into a digital screen which can be updated over time."
That's lame. 3D printing buttons is a very quick and simple solution to that problem. They can even use my lasts-forever, contactless analog hall effect Void Switch design: https://github.com/riskable/void_switch
Keeping buttons--something that's so quick and easy to 3D print--in stock seems like a huge waste of storage space.

Analogue pushbuttons?

Flux Keyboard
I feel like you're out of the loop when it comes to keyboard nerds. Check out the dactyl-manuform [0]. The days of tiny 40/60 keyboards are gone, they aren't cool anymore (joking of course, use what you want).

Dactyl Manuform with Amoeba King PCBs -- Keypresses not detected
I'm trying to hand-wire a dactyl manuform (case printed from this repo) keyboard as my first build. So far, I've wired together the left side of the keyboard, which I am now testing. My keypresses are not picked up by my computer. I would appreciate if anyone could give me more debugging steps beyond what I've done so far!

After over a year of fiddling about she is almost complete..
that's not entirely accurate. It is a derivation of the dactyl-manuform. I used the generator from this project to produce the case. https://github.com/ibnuda/dactyl-keyboard The earliest biuld of the dactyl-manuform that I can find is: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform

Dactyl Manuform Licensing for sale
I have been considering making a few Dactyl Manuform's to sell, but I'm not clear on the licensing involved. The github page lists two licenses, one for the source code, for generating the models which does appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub) and one for the generated models themselves, which does not appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE-models at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub).

keyboard for wrist pain?
If you are willing to spend some money, a dactyl manuform would be very nice, especially with custom wrist rests. The dactyl are modular and 3d printable, and a lot of people actually make them with trackballs in them, so you wouldn’t need to worry about an ergonomic mouse. Failing that; something like a moonlander might also be a good option.
