I found these:

Ergodox Style Gaming Keypad

A while back I wanted to have a muck around with QMK and making my own keyboard so I made a gaming keypad similar to a Razer Tartarus. It’s basically my take on an ortholinear layout of the left half of an Ergodox split keyboard, but with a slightly different button layout. Compared to a regular Ergodox it adds the ESC/F keys, has an extra column of standard letter keys and is missing one of the thumb function keys. I haven’t ended up using it much because, while I really like the ortholinear…

Custom keycaps

One of the reasons why I built the MPCNC was to make custom keycaps and keyboards. This is my first test with just cheap poplar plywood I had laying around. I had to make a custom fixture to do the clearance pocket inside. [attachment file=98255] Toolpaths: I used an adaptive at 1100mm/min, 1.5mm DOC with a 3.175mm two flutes bit, and a finish pass consisting in a parallel pass on the curved top, and a ramp on the sides, with a 4mm 2 flutes ball endmill, at 1500mm/min. The backside was done …

Keyboard case

I built my own keyboard completely from scratch, and I used my MPCNC to make a nice enclosure for it. This is the end result: [keyboard2] [keyboard1] I designed a custom PCB at easyeda.com and had it fabricated at jlcpcb.com. Soldered all the keys and some components onto it, and used a Teensy 3.2 as the microcontroller. The code for the Teensy is also written from scratch (I didn’t know about QMK at the time). I then designed a case in OpenSCAD, this is the bottom for example: [bottom] T…

I know there was another one, but I can’t find it.
