omg I love you’re keyboard design it’s so cool :3

how’d you design it and what soldering iron did you use?

thanks! :3 i used kicad for the design but it doesn't like anything at an angle so for the next version im using solvespace to design the size and shape then importing that into kicad for the rest. im not really sure what soldering iron i have but i know its from circuit specialists. although if you want to know what to get ive heard good things about the pinecil. I also made a v2 keyboard which i dont think i ever updated anything to show:

OLKB Preonic 👋

It was a warm summer evening when I saw the OLKB Preonic (rev 3) on Massdrop. It looked gorgeous. It was a kit, but without needing to solder. I could get fancy switches I’d never heard of. Most importantly, it came in orange. I joined that drop, not understanding even how Massdrop worked. “Estimated Shipping Date: January 24, 2019.” Well, fuck, take my money anyway.

Life went on. Lots of life. I recommended this keyboard to @designpatternpirate without even trying it. Seasons changed. I kinda forgot all about it, which seems like what happens to most Mech Keys Massdrop-participants. Then, on an evening 70 degrees colder than when this all began, a tiny package appeared at my apartment door. “That box is too small to fit a keyboard,” my daughter said. “Wait, what did you buy?” said my wife. I grabbed my toolbox and took over the dining table.

It’s a very impressive piece of hardware. The Anodized orange case and MX plate are very sturdy. And the PBC, well...

🤤

Not only does it look great, and run QMK Firmware, but this version of OLKB (Revision 3) adds hot-swappable switches, meaning no soldering! I could include my 3 year old in the assembly without too much angst.

The only weird part of having hot-swappable switches is that (if you opt for the “extra secure” assembly method, which I did) you screw the board and plate in first, THEN add the switches, so I kinda was just crossing my fingers that the pins didn’t bend or anything. That being said, it was very straight forward; the stabilizers were already assembled, which is usually the hardest part.

It’s an amazing little keyboard that I’m really looking forward to using.

So I set a couple of goals for 2020 (most of them are just minor tweaks from 2019) but I decided to prioritized the top five. Two of these goals are just to graduate and get my license - which are just good in general for the next part of my life. But most of my day is dedicated to this also with most of my mental stamina needed to finish requirements. So the other three are relatively relaxing, and hopefully without too much stress and pressure. One of the is to type over 100 WPM by the end of the year. Hence this Ortholinear Keyboard. it is a 40% keyboard that does not have the keys staggered - which was always something that had bothered me with current set up I have. In all honestly right now at 65WPM on average I think I could just get more comfortable and truly master typing on a regular keyboard. But I think thats boring and it’s time for a new set up anyways - so I’m going to try out the OLKB when it comes out and then blog about it. Hopefully it’s as fun as I think it’s going to be.

Daily drawing, day 2 — my Planck ✨

Couldn't come up with a good subject for todays daily drawing, so I just went with the closest object on my desk 😏

Recently, I've been getting into mechanical keyboards, and earlier this month I built my first custom board: the Drop + OLKB Planck. Despite how wacky the layout might look, if you're not familiar with it, it's a real joy to type on, and I'm having a lot of fun customising the keymap

i think olkb and drop should give me a planck keyboard kit for free because im epic
