Note: This project is still a work in progress, and some changes might occur.
The keyboard you see here is inspired by the Grumpy model, particularly its format.
Big thanks for the inspiration, and a special shout-out to our colleague @il for helping refine the ideas.
Brief Specifications:
PCB: • Flexcut • Hotswap • 32 keys with support for 2 encoders • Coin battery or lithium battery • MCU : Nice Nano V2.0
Case: • Gasket mount • Two part, easy print. • 7% tilt • Wristrest (If you’re wondering why the wrist rest has a hole, that’s because it’s designed to function as a pen rest.) *The switch for powering on and off hasn’t been completed yet, which is why there’s just a hole there for now. That’s one of the things that still needs to be finished.
Required Parts: ** 1. Gasket tape:** • Thickness: 3 mm • It is used to dampen vibrations and achieve better sound and feel while typing. • You can stick the gasket tape directly onto the plate or the case—it’s up to you. (I prefer sticking it onto the plate since I often change cases, but the plate stays the same.) 2. Screws: • Number of screws: 7 pieces. • Dimensions: 3 mm x 20 mm (slightly shorter screws are also fine). • Recommendation: Use the screws from the link provided, as they have been tested. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001120507552.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.13.6ca9180263b2qE _ Note about screws:_ • Directly into plastic: Screws can be inserted directly into plastic parts, but this might reduce the durability of the joints. • Durability tips: It is recommended to use inserts for 3D-printed parts to increase strength and longevity. • Recommended inserts: Use brass or steel inserts compatible with plastic parts.
Thank you! 😊
