I wanted to design a funny keyboard with an alternative to TRRS, so I made this floppy disk sized keyboard! (Perfect replica, under 10cm x 10cm)

I made a build guide for it too: https://lexp.lt/posts/floppy_keyboard/

    Really nice. What switches did you go with?

    Thanks!

    I went with twilight ambient switches, might add soft o-rings under the keycaps later (I have been using those switches and the o-rings idea on another board and I love it, so quiet).

    For a while I considered putting some sunset for the tactility and the memories of membrane keyboards, but didn’t as I don’t really like tactile switches (for now).

    Oh. This is so cool. Have you considered covering the controllers with metal plates for that true floppy feel?

    This has to be the cheapest coiled split-keyboard cable option. Creative !

    That is awesome. I was looking to a alternative to TRRS. I like it.
