Got my nickname while studying in China. 杰克波, or in pinyin jié kè bō, has similar sounds as my real name, Jacob. Normally Chinese names have nice meanings like beautiful flower or storm petrel, but my name is more clumsy and translates to something like heroic gram (yes, the unit of mass) surge.

Hi, I have added a page for a keyboard I recently got and have dome some small amount of research on. Wrote what I know about the board on this wiki page: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Chicony_KB-5152 Even though I have added the page to the category for Chicony boards, it doesn't appear on the list ...

Greeting, A while since last update. I thought I would bring this to a conclusion instead just leaving it open ended. Work continued on making a new controller board that would fit most models, and it got to a point where it seemed to be quite good. So the first prototype was made that you can see i...

Small update from my side. I have been working on with the design of the second controller. First step was to reverse engineer the matrix behind the boards. I have released a video about my approach, here: https://youtu.be/dNqHS6UykQw Also I have gotten hold of a few different microcontroller boards...

Thank you very much for the encouragement raoulduke-esq

Thank you for the tip raoulduke-esq! Good suggestion to use the pro micro for this, used the little bugger in a few other projects before. For me the only issue with the pro micro is the small amount of IO pins. The matrix itself requires 24 pins, then add 3 more pins for the indicator LEDs. That co...

Thanks MinaDarsh for your response! Happy to see that there is interest for this :) The estimate of the price is based off a "worst-case" scenario, where the most expensive components are selected, then including shipping of the components to me, any import taxes that are due for overseas components...

Hi, This project focuses on creating two controller boards that are intended to fit most of the various Model M keyboards. The controllers will be fully QMK and VIA/VIAL compatible. If there is interest from you, would you be so kind as to answer a few questions here? https://forms.gle/iqPyS8hVFppkD...
