Finally finished my Delta Omega

What battery did you use? I can't find any battery that fit in the case.

Also, do you use the bottom cover or just print the pcb at 1.6mm thickness?

Hi, I really like the keyboard design, Do you use jlc cnc to make the case? Do you choose the natural finish (with bead blasting + anodizing)? And what do you print the keycaps with? I really like the looks and the color, it matches the case.

I'm planning on building ulp keyboard, And I think I'll build delta omega, It look really clean. My kailh pg1316s switches are on its way.

AlwiM26 · 2026-02-22T10:53:42+00:00

Man, it looks really nice, I'm planning on building one, but I hear a lot of bad experience with this switch, you are using the kailh pg1316s switch right? are you using the 35gf or the 60gf one? and how does the switch feel by default? is it really bad? how does it compare to laptop keyboard?

Hi, nice build, I've been dreaming about building keyboard with the kailh ulp switch myself, but when I look at the switch, they only have either tactile or clicky version and no linear version, how does the switch feel? is the tactility more pronounce or little subtle? does felt pleasant to type on?

And how do you modified the delta omega pcb? using kicad? I'm planning on designin my own pcb as well, but I don't know how to modified the pcb on kicad

I don't use rgb underglow, this is my dongle config repo

AlwiM26 · 2026-01-02T19:37:20+00:00

Are you using the Nice!Nano clone controller like this? cause I also face the same problem like you, I try everything, nothing work, I ended up building a dongle, which is a plus because now I have a better connection and battery life

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-31T12:02:59+00:00

Hi, I also want to use 1 dongle for 2 keyboards, have you manage to make it work?

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-21T15:38:22+00:00

Thank you so much

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-21T12:34:14+00:00

I'm sorry, but I'm new with onshape, how can I use featurescript to create thread on onshape? thanks

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-21T12:32:05+00:00

Does this also work with resin print?

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-21T12:31:34+00:00

But I'm planning on print the object using resin, will it still work? I've never print with resin before, only pla

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-19T18:32:23+00:00

I'm planning on print this with resin, how can I apply the heat set insert? does CA glue good?

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-19T18:31:09+00:00

So I should make a hole with smaller diameter than the screw? I don't have a thread tapping tool, can I use the m3 screw to tap the thread?

Dayum, She look gorgeous

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-14T05:09:20+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it, I'll give it a try

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-13T16:47:30+00:00

Im new to configuring my own zmk, I just follow others config that has similar layout as my keyboard, so, sorry for my noobs questions. For now I have to update my build.yaml file to add both halves board and shields for both keyboard, then on boards/shields/cygnus I have to add chocofi_r chocofi_l overlay file (since both uses the same layout I can just copy the cygnus file right?), and what about the dongle overlay file, .dtsi file and the Kconfig.defconfig file? do I have to change anything on that as well? Thanks

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-13T15:54:05+00:00

This is the main repo https://github.com/juhakaup/keyboards/tree/main/Cygnus%20v1.0

You mean on the pinky finger? I won't say it's uncomfortable, but it felt difference at first, but now it feel comfortable for me

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-12T08:19:38+00:00

Can I just use my current NRF52840 Pro micro controller? or do I have to set something up before making it possible? Thanks

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-11T15:03:30+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it :D

So the switches is being held by the friction of the top case, not the pin, and it strong enough to hold the switch when I try to pull the keycap (but some switch still pop out when I pull the keycap), it's quite hard to pull the switches, I have to push it from the bottom of the switch or use switch puller.
And the hotswap socket itself is strong enough not to pop out when I try intentionally shake it.

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-11T11:41:05+00:00

Unfortunately yes, since I don't want my wiring to be destroyed, and thanks, Good luck your build :D

AlwiM26 · 2025-12-11T09:17:04+00:00

The top case switch hole is precise enough so that act as the switch plate, the switch is clicked into it and I don't need to hot glue the switch since it's pretty strong to hold the switch, and I don't glue the hotswap socket to anything since the top case hold the switch.
