KBD.news Published October 17, 2022
Calvin Nemo aka RobotTelevision/aionskull published some files of his primpkeeb , a 3D-printed, handwired board with a Pi Pico devboard.
The name is derived from: "Printable Modular Pico Pi Keyboard".
The design is modular, not reconfigurable. Many modular designs are also reconfigurable, but they are not the same. There are 3 different printed 'blocks' which you can arrange in a ton of ways to get a custom layout that works for you – aionskull.
Modular pieces
Pick a layout, connect it together and solder up the keyboard matrix to the Pico pins.
Then bolt the whole thing to a piece of wood or polycarbonate.
