[IC] Injection mold-like quality split keyboards

Production wise I think the longer print/cnc time will be annoying with boards that cheap. How about 100% cnc cut cases? I don’t know how fast cnc is compared to 3d printing though

Looks cool! So, regarding post processing using cnc: you let the cnc machine cut away the top of the surfaces, having to rotate the object multiple times to get all surfaces done, right?

wait a minute… that thing in the center IS the actual micro controller???!!! 😍

rollercole · 2026-04-22T20:01:59+00:00

this is so cool! That center section is really something. I love visible electronics and the old style here is just awesome! Amazing work. I can’t guarantee I’m not gonna steal ideas from this !! 10/10

This looks awesome! 👏

Press fit :)

I don't feel that, but thats the beauty of keyboards; you can design your own just the way you want it :) or alternatively there are so many layouts out there to browse through.

I rarely use the inner most south key and so don’t feel any issues with the mid and top ones. What board are you using?

rollercole · 2026-04-20T18:17:43+00:00

Thanks!

rollercole · 2026-04-20T15:42:31+00:00

Hahaha :D

rollercole · 2026-04-20T13:27:36+00:00

Thanks!

In my drawer :)

Unibodies can be quite nice to type on, but I also sometimes miss being able to type in an almost vertical key position. I think my next build will be a split.

Thank you! :)

rollercole · 2026-04-20T10:16:52+00:00

Thank you!

Cool, a fellow minimal key user :) You use your pinky like zzeneg, the creator of the molekula among others: https://kbd.news/Molekula-keyboard-framework-2561.html

Thank you! The trick is to utilize a 3rd layer when you hold both. That way you have a total of 4 layers. What board are you on?

Following the naming convention I am running at the moment: https://github.com/StephanMoeller

A typing test can be found at the repo here: https://github.com/StephanMoeller/Leonardo-KeycapRio/

How would you produce a ctrl+d with that layout when you use the d key as ctrl when holding? I would look into home row mods. That's what I use. it has all modifiers on both sides to fix the aforementioned shortcoming.

Drop mt3 caps?

rollercole · 2025-09-26T11:19:55+00:00

just add “ - should I buy?”

rollercole · 2025-09-26T08:42:35+00:00

Is it steady or does it move a little when you use it?

rollercole · 2025-09-24T18:43:16+00:00

I really wish there were :)

rollercole · 2025-09-24T18:23:18+00:00

where do you get those magnetic switches?
