Hi folks, I’ve been working on this keyboard pretty much since January of this year, and I’ve finally got it to the point that I can call it done! If you’d like to build one, all files are available here.
This is an MX-based keyboard, 36 keys with integrated trackball. The github page has a bunch more details. I also have a choc version in dev using the same style that’s based off the Trinidox.
Let me know what you think!
Sorry I might not be understanding this correctly, but does that mean the choc version will have proper choc spacing and be 2mm closer? And a properly located trackpad on top of that?
That is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I printed the case for a MX Skeletyl but found the spacing a bit too far, and the choc skeletyl that I printed felt a bit off for some reason.
it’s somewhat visible in the picture below…this is from the first version (Trinidox) but the key placement is the same.
They keys within the columns are spaced as tightly together as I could get them without interference. The column to column has more space though - I just found it more comfy as I ran through some iterations. But now I’m getting curious about smashing the columns together again…I think the keyboard could be considerably smaller. I’ll release this version and continue to mess around…I’m just working through some annoying under-extrusion issues on my printer, so I’m hoping that I can have it released in a couple weeks.
Please give us another update here once the choc version is done, I’d be super interested in trying it out!
Will do! I’m sifting through some annoying printer issues, and combined with a family vacation, I’m a bit behind where I wanted to be at this point…
