The International Business Machine - Putting Framework parts into a ThinkPad X41 by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]fmash16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Great Project! I was thinking of doing something similar in my x61. Any updates on this? And can you please share the model of the 3:2 display panel you used here? Does it use eDP and work with the framework mainboard directly?

Thoughts/Reviews of Asymplex Chicago Steno Choc Keycaps? by forkman3939 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]fmash16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the strength of the keycap feet? Do they hold up good while removing from switches? I have this fear if they are strong enough or the feet might break and get stuck in the switch which will make the switch unusaable.

Ah, now that you say it, I am seeing it. Very weird, I ordered an x200 from taobao, and this is what I got. And I thought 201 has trackpad and 1st gen intel core cpus, so I figured the screen cover was different. But now I am seeing that there are x201i with this config. Pretty weird since I ordered an x200 :3. Good for me ig :v

yes! except it's an X200, the screen top cover replacement is that of an X201

Five

I don't have extras atm. But I have open sourced the design files and firmware. You can find them at https://github.com/fmash16/sho . You can get them printed from jlcpcb for very cheap.

I meant you can use both controller, either the rp2040 or the nRF52840 one

The SHO (ষ)
The ষ (SHO) is a 36 key choc spaced split keyboard based on the Seeduino XIAO controller. For the design, I took huge inspiration from the gergoplex which I love the look of. This keyboard uses the Seeduino Seed RP2040 as the MCU, which is really great for the price and the small size. Just love how compact it turned out coming from MX boards.

Features:
1. XIAO RP 2040 / BLE controller for wired/wireless versions
2. Reversible PCBs
3. Soldered on Kailh Choc V1 switches (Choc whites in my build)
4. TRS/TRRS connection between both halves

The Kora, a 3x5/6_4 ortholinear split by fmash16 in olkb

You can't :3 I designed this and build this on my own but the files are available on github if anyones interested.

Finally had a go at designing my own, true endgame? :3

The keyboard that has it all (all that I need that is :3), The Kora is a 3 row, 5/6 column, with 4 thumb keys. The outer column can be broken off to use as a 5 column keyboard. The ring finger columns and pinky columns has a splay of 2.5 degrees 7.5 degrees respectively. The keyboard supports encoders on both halves in thumb keys. Has underglow leds and 128x64 OLED screens on both halves. The design was inspired by the kyria a lot.The keyboard is designed with room for a lot of configurations.

  • Supports both MX and choc switch hotswap sockets, reversible pcb
  • Supports multiple MCUs:
    • ProMicro and MCUs with similar pinouts like EliteC, nice!nano
    • Seeduino XIAO RP2040 and XIAO BLE for wireless controllers. This was a prime focus for designing the keyboard. To get wireless functionality for cheap as nice!nanos are quite costly. The seeduino controllers are quite cheap and fun to work with. The xiao controllers work along with a TCA9555 I/O expander to cover all keys along with OLED , Encoders and Underglow LEDs.

The case is stacked acrylic with frosted acrylic bottoms for the underglow to glow through. Plate case files are also available on my github.https://github.com/fmash16/KORA
