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.
As already mentioned last week, the Maximus by Protieusz, inspired by Daraku-Neko's Ieneko42c, is a 3D-printed monoblock split with a trackpad, plus 2 extra physical mouse keys (even though the trackpad can do gestures).
In the meantime Protieusz also published the STLs and Gerber files of this remix, which is powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico and is equipped with the 65 mm variant of the Azoteq trackpad.
The 65mm trackpad makes a big difference compared to the Ieneko42c's 43mm trackpad. Operation is much smoother – Protieusz.
Specs
- 38 keys (3x5+3 per half + mouse keys)
- MX, soldered
- SMD diodes
- Raspberry Pi Pico controller
- 65 mm Azoteq trackpad
