Made a cheeky keyboard this week (lemmy.ml)

I wanted a dedicated keyboard to control my home assistant for lights and stuff. Inside the junk drawer I had enough extra switches and a spare RP Pico, so I printed this enclosure.

This time I kept it super simple, just soldered right to the switches, no lights, 3x4.

Now it's up on my desk, and I've got a few unused keys for expansion!

Hand wiring can be a lot of fun. I have done about a dozen boards, including the “pocket battleship” I use for work everyday. This looks perfect.

Did you go with KMK?

I used my old standby QMK and just wrote the config with cursor/vim.
