This is my first ZMK board. It was great to work with and I found the documentation very helpful. I'm definitely noticing some latency when using it in bluetooth mode, so I still need to look into that – blawb.
Github repo is pending but the author sent me his Gerber files and keymap:
The keycaps are resin printed and the designs come from KeyV2. Here are some more close ups: https://imgur.com/a/MxNug4e
At first I printed 3x each at different scaling and used the scaling that worked best for me (3x at 99% scale, 3x 100% scale, 3x 101% scale….). The ones I have on right now are a little looser than I liked and I’d like some legends so I’m going to print a new batch soon. I’ve also found that using the same scaling but at different print orientations can make a difference – blawb.
