  • keycap_playground

    The Keycap Playground is a parametric OpenSCAD keycap generator made for generating keycaps of all shapes and sizes (and profiles)

  • > I wish the customization options and custom keycaps, etc. would trickle to down to the non-mechanical market.

    Just get a 3D printer and all your cheap, completely custom keycap desires will be answered...

    https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground

    I'm typing on Keycap Playground keycaps right now:

    Also, that gif is of my completely custom analog hall effect keyboard that uses 3D printed Void Switches which you can also customize to your heart's delight:

    https://github.com/riskable/void_switch

    (Make them feel however you like since the design is parametric and you can customize the feel by changing the total travel, distance between the magnets at rest, etc)

    For reference, I'm spending most of my time working on the firmware so that I can start selling some (though "the plan" is mostly surrounding selling PCBs/kits and "print it your damned self!" hehe). Here's the numpad I've been working on lately (to develop the firmware):

  • BlueMicro_BLE

    Keyboard Firmware for the Nordic nRF52 Series of Bluetooth SoC based on the Adafruit NRF52 Feather

  • > I'm looking for a QMK wireless keyboard, but they're thin on the ground - and I suspect the battery life would still be terrible.

    QMK's bluetooth stack is pretty fucking broken and has limited chipsets it supports. You'll have more luck with https://github.com/jpconstantineau/BlueMicro_BLE or https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk

  • zmk

    ZMK Firmware Repository
