After the MM60 Ergo, SKZBadHabit is back with a handwired ortho project. The MMOrtho is a monoblock angled ortholinear keyboard, coming with its own web ecosystem.

The goal was to create a keyboard that isn't just hardware, but a complete, easy-to-use ecosystem. It’s built around the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W and CircuitPython, making it incredibly simple to build and customize – SKZBadHabit.

Web configurator to remap keys, edit macros, or change settings – no firmware flashing needed after the initial setup:
