#ergomechkeyboard — Public Fediverse posts

First working full assembly of my #RugbyUnion 15-a-side diode-free monobody tented #ErgoMechKeyboard, with a reversible PCB joined by 16 short wires (much fiddlier than I expected), in a case printed in Tinmorry Galaxy Green PLA, fitted with black resin Chicago Stenographer keycaps (printed by #JLCPLC who did my PCB too), and 1.5u MBK in the corners and on the thumbs (later should be 1.75u but I only have one of those to hand). Running #ZMK firmware (with #QMK and #RMK testing pending).

Design files for this #MechanicalKeyboard are here https://codeberg.org/peterjc/pico-keyboards/src/branch/main/rugbyunion with build guide and improved case design pending.

I am slowly getting better at soldering, 4 out of 7 successful #MechanicalKeyboard PCBs now - all three of my diode-free #GraphTheory wired keyboard PCB designs have worked (eventually) ⌨️🎊
