42 keys ergonomic keyboard
A 40% mechanical keyboard.
Build – Build log, bill of materials, tips on where to
source parts, assembling tips, learning resources I used while designing this
keyboard.
Case – Fusion 360 project and STL files for 3D printing
the enclosure.
Firmware – QMK configuration. There is a Makefile to
build and load the firmware.
PCB – Kicad project and Gerber files for manufacturing the
circuit board.
In January 2018 I wanted a keyboard with a specific set of features. The
simplest options to get that keyboard were to wait for a group-buy or build my
own. Waiting time and costs for both options seemed similar, so I went with the
option where I would learn the most.
Needs and knowledge changed over time, so I made different iterations to add new
features and account for the lessons learned from previous builds.
