## Handwired
|
|
|
|
Design: [Void40](https://www.printables.com/model/347534-void40-a-40-ortholinear-keyboard)
|
|
|
|
Inspired by a video sent to me by a friend, ["Building a Split USB-C Handwired Keyboard" by Joe Scotto](https://youtu.be/PDguuYMG0IQ), I started initially with a 3x3 macropad in the same style as Joe Scotto.
|
|
|
|
I moved onto a Planck-like shortly afterwards, initially I was using a large RP2040 devboard, but I settled on an RP2040 Zero (not pictured!).
|
|
|
|
Keyswitches:
|
|
* Inner: Matrix Lab FFFF (Tactile)
|
|
* Outer: Nightwalker Glow-in-the-Dark Nightcall (Silent Linear)
|
|
|
|
Stabilizers were hand-lubricated.
|
|
|
|
Keycaps were KAT Cyberspace.

|
|

|
|
|
|
Keyswitches:
|
|
* Turquoise Tealios (Linears) for alphas
|
|
* Zealio V2 (Tactile) for all other keys
|
|
|
|
Keycaps are KAT Cyberspace.
|
|
|
|
I spent an awful lot of time debugging issues that were fundamentally my own fault for following the build guide wrong in one way or another, but I feel like it turned out very pretty.
