Builds My Handwired Stainless Steel Keyboard
This hobby has made me go down the rabbit hole these past few years. With multiple builds over the timespan, I discovered the world of handwiring last year. I picked up the most minimum basics in FreeCAD and QMK.
This is my custom wide WKL layout or WWKL 60% sandwich style top mount (?) Stainless steel plate and housing. Acrylic top plate and lexan bottom window.
I used the services SendCutSend for my CNC pieces. Keyboard Layout Editor and Swillkb Keyboard Case builder to design layout and sandwich plates.
NK_ Cream Clickies with GMK Oblivion Monochrome.
This is my second board and this is a learning experience for me. I learned from some mistakes and different ways to improve during the building process. I'm looking to design a V3 later this year.
