Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.

The fisk 2.0 is an update of Victor's (aka Strange-Lab5541/vvhg1) handwired split keyboard with those distinctive vintage keycaps scavenged from a Triumph Adler Gabriele 9009 electric typewriter (the original fisk was featured here).

I created the fisk last year and have been daily driving it since, but the prints always bothered me a bit. They were the cheapest I could find at the time, which made sense as I had no idea if they would work or not. So now it's time for a little upgrade – Strange-Lab5514.

The author changed the split connection to USB-C (5V safe) and fixed some little issues here and there with the construction. The prints this time are SLS printed ABS. As they were really cheap and have everything Strange-Lab needed, the controllers are RP2040 Zeros this time.
