I built one keyboard, so of course I built another. The excuse for this one was that it was a travel keyboard. But I’m now using it at home as well.
I bought a Gergo: Protocol kit from https://www.gboards.ca/product/gergo and used brown kailh low-profile choc switches for most positions, and red for thumb cluster. Can I tell the difference usually? No.
I then printed some Chicago Steno keycaps, vertically using rainbow filament because I hate myself. Did I already have choc compatible low profile keycaps? Of course, but why do the easy thing, especially when under a time crunch?
I used Pseudoku’s OpenSCAD keycap library but had to make some changes because >1u chicago steno thumb keycaps would bug out when rotating the stem for my thumb cluster keys (stem and/or bevel would not merge with underside of keycap). I did some ugly magic-numbers hacks to Make It Work⢠because I was rushing for a work trip, so I still need to go try to clean up the code and submit a good pull request. Contact me on github if you want the code as is to make some. And I even thought to print extra keycaps at the same time so that I have spares for each row with the same color gradient! Yay for future/idiot-proofing.
Also added an oled to try to get wpm bongo cat working, but flashing the qmk code with a few quick changes didn’t work so I stopped to actually pack for said trip.
