This is my 3rd hand wired, first with underglow

So this is my 36 key wireless split. This is my 3rd hand wired board so I’m getting better with the wiring. And the LEDs are a ball, but with that joke of a battery I get about a solid day at the office with it before it’s dead. Had a good time designing and building and now I use it daily.

It uses a nice nano clone, exposed reset button, and a power switch on each half.

I also ended up making the dongle after the fact so being able to flash it with the reset button is just more fun than the ol tweezer method.

Next up, pcb board lol

36 key with encoders, handwired, split.

I made a layout in KLE, used the plate case builder to get the outline, and made the case in fusion. Hand wired the brown mx switches in a 5x4 matrix with diodes, the encoders, and a 4 pin usbc connector to an arduino pro micro on each side, and it’s not pretty. It definitely works tho, and is gonna teach me a whole lot while I build a custom pcb version with ergogen. I’m terrible at typing with it, and have no clue where the symbols are, but it’s a lot of fun
