The purpose of making this was to eliminate remembering all the important shortcuts and complex key combinations. Each shortcut can be mapped to an individual key and can be keycaps with a single keystroke.
It uses an Arduino pro micro as the brain 29 mechanical switches and some basic parts like an
Print instructions
Print the keycaps with 0.12mm layer height. We can print you everything else at 0.2 mm.
Build Instructions
Print out all parts which includes the e, base, and keycaps a total of 34 (cover for the rotary encoder and knob is optional).
The faceplate and keycaps need some cleanup.
Insert the switches into the faceplate and wire them up like the schematic. You can also add the diodes using single strand wire helps keep everything clean.
Solder everything to the Arduino (I have used male and female header pins for easy access) and stick the Arduino to the bottom with double-sided tape make sure to keep the wires small so that everything fits.
Connect the ws2812b led strip to the Arduino as shown in the schematic and stick the strip at the bottom
If you are using the rotary encoder, solder the wires to the pin header and glue it in place.
Assemble the rotary encoder parts and solder the header pins using some wire refer to photos if needed, and use super glue to fix it in place.
Check everything and push the wires in.
Screw the faceplate to the body using the 2.4mm screws.
Firmly press the keycaps onto the switch stems.
Add some self-adhesive anti-skid pads at the bottom
Upload the firmware and make actions in Photoshop done
Required parts:
5V Arduino Pro Micro
29 Cherry MX Switches
1 tack switch (for reset)
rotary encoder (optional)
WS2812B Led Strip (optional)
8 2.4mm-8mm plastic screw
2 M3-10mm screw
1.5-2mm screws for rotary encoder can use super glue
self-adhesive anti-skid pads
You will also need a USB cable, wire, solder, and a piece of double-sided tape.
Optional:
