Here’s a (terrible) picture of my work setup:
CABLES, CABLES EVERYWHERE
Ok, so this week I got the remaining parts, so here is the fully assembled Model qMk!
Nothing weird on the front, until we got to the back and…
It is running a new RP2040 based controller with QMK firmware. The old controller next to the new:
QMK is the same firmware that ergodox and other fancy keyboards run. Is capable of saving macros, having several layouts stored and other niceties. Right now it runs only the basic thing, and is meant to work as a drop-in replacement.
The new version is being developed, though
This one has a better expansion header and my plan is also to have switches on the back of the keyboard to be pushed with a paperclip. Still on the design phase and possible that this particular one won’t even be sent to manufacturing (still have to check if everything fits and that I have not missed anything significant).
After that objective is to open source it and maybe sell a small batch via tindie. Some of my friends already expressed interest so my “beta” batch is already sold; there were already controllers, but were designed a long time ago and have quite old controllers, some of them hard to source or pricier.
I have 5 monitors, multiple computers connected by a KVM, and multiple types of mobile devices everywhere. I don’t have time for cable management.
Plus the minute everything is made neat I either have to unplug something and mess it up, or I end up moving to a new office and have to start over.
