Hello to all keyboard enthusiast here on the Fédiverse.
For the longest time, I have used a TypeMatrix 2030 as my daily driver, most of which was spent daydreaming of finding a close approximation that would be mechanical. Failing to find one, I procrastinated in researching how I could build my own, which was an error.
Now, my good old TypeMatrix is showing signs of dying, and I still don’t have even started on its mechanical replacement. So, I would like help and counsel on how to make one.
I don’t need it to be identical, (I don’t need the rightmost column on the actual TypeMatrix, for example) but I DO need the middle column with “del”, “backspace” and “enter” keys.
Would anyone be willing to help me, please?
Thanks for your willingness to help.
I'm not that good in electonic, so I might need help on the plans on that front, along with what resistors or diods I need. (I do know how to solder &, at worst, know someone who can help on that part IRL.)
For the design part, I have found somone else's project I can use as a base, and have switches and some keycaps I might be able tu re-use, but might very well need help with QMK and what micro-controler to use.
Can you share the links?
