-- Kicad 6 footprints and libraries for making analog keyboard PCBs (using Void Switches) https://github.com/riskable/void_switch_65_pct -- Kicad 6 Source files for a tutorial I'm working on, "How to design an analog keyboard". Want to see what an analog keyboard PCB looks like? Look here! ...and I have early alpha firmware written in Rust that runs on stm32f4x1 microcontrollers (like the Black Pill) here: https://github.com/riskable/riskeyboard70 (it's not quite ready for prime time but at least serves to demonstrate the analog multiplexer logic). So far the keyboards I've made using my Void Switches have been made so that the whole top comes off: https://gfycat.com/costlyglaringhyracotherium This makes it super easy to clean your keyboard (which is a complaint I hear regularly about 3D printed keycaps... That they collect bacteria in the layer lines or whatever): https://gfycat.com/unconsciousvigilantkinglet ...and here's some other gifs of the keyboards/macro pads/numpads I've made demonstrating various features I've incorporated into their designs: https://gfycat.com/silentgorgeoushydatidtapeworm (macro pad with analog hall effect rotary encoder--it's knob comes up with the rest of the top plate yet) https://gfycat.com/scrawnyglisteningandeancat -- Numpad with PLA everything (I normally print everything in PETG so it's an example that yes, you can use PLA) https://gfycat.com/carefulangrybirdofparadise -- Very fancy Keycap Playground keycap https://gfycat.com/fewcomplicatedhuia -- What could be the most historically-significant keyboard accessory of the 21st century https://gfycat.com/marriedtediousaquaticleech -- All my PCBs so far have incorporated an infrared receiver so you can turn any old remote control into a wireless macro pad (got extra GPIO pins so why not? haha) https://gfycat.com/firsthanduniformeasteuropeanshepherd -- Simple glamour shot of my Riskeyboard 70 with all LEDs set to white. I've been typing on my 3D printed Void Switches for about 9 months now (on various keyboard prototypes). My Riskeyboard 70 is my "daily driver" as it were. EDIT: I almost forgot: I wrote a rust crate using `embedded-hal` that makes working with 74HC4067 (and 74HC4051) analog multiplexers super easy (important for making analog keyboards): https://github.com/riskable/analog-multiplexer
