Keyboard

In 2017 I made a custom designed and machined a keyboard for my personal use. I used a winkeyless mini 66% PCB without numpad and paired it with blank keycaps for a clean, minimalist design.

The custom part of the design is the aluminum baseplate, which I designed based on the PCB layout, waterjet out of 1/8” Aluminum sheet, and sandblasted for a good finish.

Here’s a close-up of waterjet & sandblasted aluminum baseplate, standoffs, and switch mounting

I’m pretty happy with the aesthetic with the keycaps and baseplate underglow.
