Keyboard Builders' Digest / Projects
Scotto63
Joe's Scotto63 is a handwired unibody split. Wireless via nice!nano.
Published February 23, 2024
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 Scotto63 is a 63-key 60% monoblock split keyboard. Column-staggered, and wireless with a 750mAh battery. It uses the author's flat profile ScottoCaps.
I originally teased this build around November of 2023 and finally got around to building it this week – Joe.
Supporting Bluetooth wireless is a side effect of opting to use a nice!nano, because the keyboard requires 20 total pins for the matrix and the nice!nano has 21 total GPIO pins.
(You could use a Pro Micro if you used the TX and RX LED pins.)
Video coming soon (scheduled for later today).
