Oh yeah, quick addition! The magnets have the perfect amount of pull!
I can easily detach the numberpad from the keyboard, yet can also suspend the number pad by it's magnets!
From a compact 88 key 76% layout, to a 122 key battleship of a behemoth, and back again, all on demand ...

I've got the connector wired up. I've tested the continuity several times, and as far as I can tell, the main keyboard's wiring is now 100% complete! I can't tell you all how happy I am to be able to say that! That said, I am having an issue, and I'm not sure why. I know my LEDs ...

Progress has been made! I am as close as I ever have been to finishing fully!
I do still have wiring to do, but the hardest part is done.
I have successfully disassembled the USB-C magnetic connectors,

Good news and bad news... The good news, is one of my two orders of 20-pin magnetic USB-C connectors came in, and amazingly, it arrived in a mere 6 days! I'm shocked by the shipping time! As you can see above, it's barely any larger than the old connector, which ...

Re: Custom "75%+1" layout with "Danger Zone" Caps & Dyed Gateron MX Tops
The absolute irony of my absolute failure to put in the time to figure out the unique coding situation to resolve the hot-swapability of this keyboard, and the ridiculous amount of time that has passed since procrastinating on finding a solution to the problem, has left me with an unexpected ...

So with this small modification, I do belive the main keyboard is 100% hardware complete!
I did disconnect the PWM output D7 from the Teensy, freeing up one I/O line. That's not important,
but it did make my previous rework of the matrix from a 7x14 to a 7x13 very ...

For me, exposing the switches was actually a design choice, because I disassembled all the switches when I lubed them up, and dyed all my top housings blue to match my blue anodized plate. Furthermore, I'm aiming for a keyboard with an absolutely minimal footprint, since it will optionally slot into ...

You know... I think for the sakes of getting this thing running, I'm going to select option A, even though layout wise, it's unintuitive. It's intuitive in terms of electrical layout, not physical layout. That's because my electrical matrix kinda jumps around all over the place on the right side of ...

I have a keyboard project that's sat rather... stagnant for almost a year. The main keyboard is complete, and has been for a year, save for firmware. A sin, I know... The issue is that I'm a hardware guy... The last programming I dis was on a TI-89 calculator, and ...

What I want to know, is where the matrix definitions need to be ordered by electrical sequence, or if the values are arbitrary, and allow for physical sequence (as long as the values are correctly defined). The obviously functional way is to lay the matrix out electrically. This seems to be what's ...

I worked on this over the Christmas holiday break. You can see the final trim and layout assembly. I might change up the misc keys from time to time, as I get other more interesting key caps. That's why I have a 6x6 number pad! Plenty of room for creative keys! :mrgreen ...
