Brandon B.: A few years ago I made a miniature mechanical keyboard. It was my very first hand-wired custom firmware board and I'm still extremely happy with how it turned out.

A few years ago I made a miniature mechanical keyboard. It was my very first hand-wired custom firmware board and I'm still extremely happy with how it turned out.

i’ve been meaning to make my own design like this. I have a BloccKey from the Japanese community. I love the idea of tiny lil boards. Personally, I wouldn’t use diodes, they’re only necessary to prevent key rollover limits, and there's no way I'd hit any reasonable speed on a tiny board 🤣

I wanted the mechanics to be as close as possible to a full size board, hence the diodes

oh gosh, this is so cool! Where would I be able to get one of these to build?

It's a completely custom build. I designed the case and made keycaps to fit on 6mm button switches. I printed legends on waterslide decal paper and applied them by hand to every single keycap. The firmware is a custom branch of umbynos's sick68 keymap, which was flashed to an Elite-C microcontroller

Oh wow, I totally thought it was a purchased kit. This is so impressive! ✨

I was at a party where the women were all in one room and the guys were all in another room trying out different keys on a keyboard
