Chonky Pocket PC - build with a Pi 4, chording keyboard, ampripper psu, 5 inch touchscreen. Details in comments.

• gpio-keyboard

  2 16 5.3 Python

  GPIO and uinput based chording keyboard firmware written in Python

Two things I wanted to do with this build were: * To implement a gpio keyboard firmware that would work w/ the pi - this came out pretty well and the keyboard is fully functional with chording, mouse emulation, rotary encoder support, etc.https://github.com/a8ksh4/gpio-keyboard * Get battery level and charge reporting like a laptop. This workes with the i2c charge reporting from the AR4k psu. I had issues with this with raspberry pi os, but in Ubuntu I get a battery on the taskbar! https://github.com/a8ksh4/rpi-integrated-battery-module

  An almost pocket-sized portable computer!

Yeah, it's a EVQWGD001 encoder. You can order them from aliexpress. I put some photos showing how I use them with standard perfboard on the github writeup here: https://github.com/a8ksh4/chonky-pocket

• Fulcrum

  31 527 3.4 Python

  The Fulcrum Keyboard is an ergo-mechanical split keyboard with extra thumb functionality. It has 20 keys, two rotary encoders, and two 5-way switches.

I use 20 keys as my daily driver and it’s been a dream come true. My RSI disappeared and as a bonus I type faster than I did before on regular keyboard.
