Awesome. I'm working on a stm32-based low profile keyboard with almost every add-ons it can handle (oled, rot-encoder, ws2812 led, external eeprom). The aim is to get as slim as possible, with ks-27 switch for keycap compatibility, so the stab mounting will be weird. My propotype is on its way from jlcpcb. I'm planning to post devlog video on youtube and share what I learned
How do you drive many LEDs from a USB port? I have 92 SK6812 Mini-E LEDs on my keyboard, and currently I'm just trying to see if running them at low power is bright enough to fit within the limtis of a USB port. I'm also thinking I can plug into a Thunderbolt 4 port for mor power, or maybe do something in the software to stagger the PWM so that only half of them are on at a time.
I just drive mine (123) at a low brightness setting. Modern LEDs are CRAZY bright. Keep in mind that most LED lightbulbs equivalent to a 60 Watt incandescent are only 4-5 watts. You can get up to 3A at ~5v from a USB Port, depending on where it comes from. Or you could use an external (isolated) power supply to provide auxiliary power, though you'll want to do your own investigation to avoid damaging anything from backfed power. -Ian
I would like to build my own keyboard, as in, I say that I want a split mechanical, ortholinear keyboard with a certain number of keys and the characters to be printed on the keycaps, then it gets built and sent to me, ready to go. Is that possible?
yeah no im gonna ignore the "not for beginners" i have touched a soldering iron once almost a decade ago and im gonna ace this. be back in a month or two
Just Subscribed! Some constructive criticism- my god fella SLOW DOWN!!! And secondly there is NO NEED for crappy background music when you're talking. Lastly, this is not a tutorial this is an overview. This should have been approximately 29-30 minutes long gi ing us the viewer to digest the Information
Part two is out now!!!!!!

Am glade TH-cam recommended this to me
how is this channel so underrated
do you need dimensions for the kb chassis or are the pcbs standard for each layout?

How do I know what kind of keycaps I have to use?
4:49 error in video. Matrix is never shown
How to make irregular Enter key?
That's a super cool project
Thanks!
Really good vid wish there was a part 2 tho T-T
