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?
Maybe these?

This is the first time my life has changed from just reading a Hacker News headline. (The headline: Tell HN: Vim users, `:x` is like `:wq` but writes only when changes are made)
Just wait until someone shows him vim-clutch.

HDD Clicker – HDD Sound Simulator
I used the same idea when setting up long-range WiFi (couple of KMs) via antenna for a mesh network.
In order to get the best latency/bandwidth, you need to point the antennas with precision at each other, and in order to know if you're pointing it right, you need to run some tool on a display at the same time, like `ping`, and see when it gets lower when you're pointing it right.
So rather than having to look with one eye towards the horizon, and one eye on a screen to see a tiny number (which I found impossible), I made a quick script that outputs a beep each time ping returns output, with the frequency being higher when the latency got lower. So now I could focus solely on the horizon while using my ears to hear if I was getting in the right direction.
Lots of fun, super useful and makes me wonder (just like you) what other tooling we could use more senses with, rather than just our eyes.

Im thinking about an improvement, where instead of pressing modifier keys, you simply use 2 vim clutches one for the row above and one for the one below

I measured for two weeks what key combinations I use to enter insert mode, and created this bar plot showing the distribution of the most frequent keys
About two weeks ago, I posted a picture here about a vim clutch (a.k.a. vim pedal) that I got as a present from a friend. Its function is very simple: when you press the pedal, it types i and takes you to insert mode. When you release it, it types ESC and you are back in normal mode. Under the post, fellow redditors started to discuss whether it makes sense for the pedal to type i? Most people were guessing that o and a would be used much more often. I thought, "hey, why don't I just measure it for a couple of days and create statistics about it?"
