During my lunch break, I took the chance to visit the only #mechanicalkeyboard store www.geekboards.de in Germany. Thanks for the hospitality! Amazing store!

3/3 So I'm redesigning my footprint to have larger copper areas for additional adhesion and cover that copper with the solder mask. I hope this improves things! Also thinking about teardrops... Any experiences?

2/3 Then I saw this video from a keyboard vendor showing how to solder on some bodge wires if this happens (so this seems happen more often..):

Wow! Since I got so many new followers over the last few days, I will post some PolyKybd pics.🎉 Once a while, I also post some stuff on ko-fi.com/polykb/posts and in case someone is interested in the kit, head to www.crowdsupply.com/polykybd/pol... Thank You🙏

I added some diffusers to the LED hole to make the light more ambient and the housing more dust proof. Over-engineered? #PolyKybd #MechanicalKeyboard

I found this funny USB-C connector... It makes your split keyboard a mono-block 😂

Created a shortcut overlay for #inkscape Very satisfying to see the icons on the keycaps 🥹 #MechanicalKeyboard #PolyKybd

How about some #Kicad shortcuts? Well these are work in progress...😁

Now I can download overlays for program specific shortcuts! #PolyKybd #MechanicalKeyboard ko-fi.com/post/Shortcu...

I do like the low profile tactile switches with the stepped/staircase profile!😁 Should I make the stepped profile available as a variation for the kit...? 🤔 #MechanicalKeyboards
March 12, 2024 at 7:20 PM
Trying some Tecsee Medium tactile switches. The only MX compatible low profile variant with LED slit! #MechanicalKeyboards

Got a test batch with alternative FPC sockets (identical footprint, but pins are reversed), as the original part has a back order time of 180 working days... works! 😁

Should work... Idea for product version 2🤫

And there is more... I could organize them in categories 🤔😁

Did I mention that the PolyKybd can do Emojis..?

I just got one of these handy pogo-pin clamps... Coincidentally it is a perfect fit with my debug port 😁 The problem is that I don't need to debug right now 🤷
