This 75%-ish noname open-source keyboard was shared by Ayush Kumar. It features a displays and rotary encoder, driven by a Pi Pico.
I designed this device in order to get some practical experience in hardware design, PCB manufacturing, and embedded systems programming. Instead of using an off-the-shelf keyboard design, I aimed at learning all the steps required to manufacture a custom keyboard – Ayush.
Specs
- 80 keys
- MX switches, soldered
- Raspberry Pi Pico controller
- EC11 rotary encoder
- display
