Thanks! Haha I did!

I did it! Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement!

I was gonna use Cosmos for the case, but when I went to download my final design, it kept erroring 🙃 So, I went with Skeletyl instead. It's designed around a PCB, but I hand-wired it instead.

I took inspiration from a Joe Scotto video and got away with using one microcontroller by connecting the two halves with a network cable (plus one extra wire because I needed 9 total). I can only include one image in this reply, but might make a post about the build with more photos.

Sold!

Oh that's great! I moved to colemak about a year ago due to hand/wrist/finger pain, and it's helped a lot. My average typing speed is probably about the same as it had been with qwerty. My highest typing test speed (which isn't very important) with colemak hasn't reached my highest qwerty speed, though.

My qwerty speed now? Garbage. I even have to look to type lmao

I really need to switch to an ergo split keeb though, because switching to colemak alone hasn't eliminated all of the pain. I've been inspired by your post and might (ADHD lol) get around to building one soon!

That's good to hear. Ew, hands are nasty, aren't they? If I actually end up doing this, I think I'll try printing the caps, but might end up buying some in the end. Thanks for the info!

I'm not the person you replied to, but how did it go? 😅

I'm new to this convo, but how's your typing speed, now?

Impressive build, btw! Still liking your keyboard? How have the 3D printed keycaps held up?
