This is a very cool #mechanical #colour #picker https://hackaday.com/2022/09/21/mechanic.. As one #comment said there, add a #colour #sensor and this would be exceptionally cool.
Ouch, it may be possible to #read #keystrokes by #listening to a #mechanical #keyboard https://hackaday.com/2022/05/06/audio-ea.. Not good...
Loving these #custom #mechanical #keyboard #switches https://hackaday.com/2022/02/08/3d-print.. Still seems like they are far too #complex ... I still think there is some #improvement to be had in this space...
#china 's #ccp show off their " #mechanical #yak " #robot , a clear #clone of the #bostondynamics #robot https://www.zerohedge.com/military/china.. Problem is, it's #slow , is #remotecontrol , doesn't #prove #load carrying #capability or #range ... The entire #concept it weird anyway, we have much better #transport options than this...
These 3D #printed #key #switches are absolutely awesome! https://hackaday.com/2022/01/17/3d-print.. By the time I go to get a new #mechanical #keyboard - I might even be able to build it completely from scratch! I would probably look to #simplify the #design though, #reduce number of #parts , #reduce number of #magnets , #reduce #halleffect #sensors , etc. Potentially you could build a #forever #keyboard though!
After repairing this #mechanical #keyboard recently and posting an #article about it under #keyboardrepair - it appears that the `s` #key is now also dying: https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/keyb.. It's now getting more and more pressing that I get a #replacement - I'm not sure this #keyboard will survive many more #fixes and any more of my awful #soldering !
Very cool, a new type of #mechanical #keyboard using " #maglev " technology, i.e. #hovering using #magnets https://hackaday.com/2021/08/02/mag-lev-.. In theory these could last a #lifetime as it does away with #contacts and #springs - both of which tend to fail in other designs. Very cool to see such a project come out of the #hacker community.
This #keyboard #pcb #generator is very cool and I very seriously considered using it: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/12/3d-print.. I did choose to buy one in the end though, building a custom keyboard *and* #laptop seems far too ambitious! The #chunkboipro will sport an SK61 optical switch #mechanical #keyboard: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050019..
Huh, interesting #keypad design: https://hackaday.com/2021/06/09/improved.. Could be worth using something like this for a #mechanical #keyboard design to use a simpler keyboard controller.
