Nice! Pinkie columns doe not look that well accessible but very good overall. And the case is pretty cheap.

I can recommend using enamelled (magnet) wire for connecting matrices or pins on a generic PCB. No need for wire strippers. Much quicker work. For more info, read the text around the last ...

Cool. What was the motivation for this? Save money from the normal Maltron? Create a programmable Maltron?

If the price isn't too high and you're willing to share firmware, I might follow your lead.

With all the customization: diodes on every switch, layout, LED placement, using mx reds, custom ...

Actually, I just type a lot of plain text plus a few programming symbols, so the central key area was generally useless for me. And it meant fewer keys to put diodes in, fewer key modules to ...

Those of us using a custom or ergo boards, most of the time, are left in the cold trying to match keycaps to layout. So here’s my proposal for a kind of ergo-compilation set.

Material: PBT

Color: GDE

Printing: Dye Sub

Profile: DSA

The color I picked because If felt is reasonably professional ...
