This keyboard is compact, reliable, and relatively easy to build. It is diodeless, the protection circuit is optional. Only the TH USB-C connector could be an annoyance for an inexperienced builder, but that’s it. Everything else should be smooth – Dmitry.

• MX, hotswap
• diodeless
• USB-C for interconnection
• Pico footprint (RP2040)
