Anyone feeling retro? We sure did while working on this cassette tape-inspired case for the KeebDeck Basic! stl files available here: www.printables.com/model/148279...

The Basic is our first product using the KeebDeck Keyboard, a cost-effective way to demonstrate the capabilities of the Keyboard. It works as USB HID over USB-C. Also includes an unpopulated Qwiic footprint with an I2C interface compatible with our previous BBQ20 boards lectronz.com/products/kee...

The KeebDeck Keyboard is the result of years of R&D to create an affordable and widely available handheld keyboard for makers and hackers. The result is a compact (85x48 mm) 69-key alphanumeric silicone keypad with an orthogonal layout based on standard PC keyboards. lectronz.com/products/kee...

A photo of the top and bottom of the Silicone Keypad, the bottom is all white with some actuators that are meant to press on the dome sheet domes. The top has lots of keys in an orthogonal layout.

Set up a little typing speed test for folks at #KiCon to try out the #KeebDeck Mini ☺️

The KeebDeck Mini connected over USB to a laptop it's sitting on. The laptop is showing a paragraph from Alice in wonderland to be typed in 30 seconds.

Love to see TechBeret choose our RP2040 Stamp as the base of their replacement board for the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard after Microsoft ended its production. Their reasons are exactly why we made the Stamp! Read the whole writeup here: techberet.com/2024/09/07/r...

KiCad's pcb viewer with the PCB containing the Stamp, a ribbon connector and a JST connector.

A taken apart keyboard with wires to the custom pcb that contains the Stamp.

Looking over the list of QMK supported processors, the RP2040 caught my eye. While the Raspberry Pi Pico board did not fit within the size or GPIO count constraints, after a bit of searching I discovered the RP2040 Stamp.

The Stamp looked perfect for my use case. It had virtually everything you needed integrated onto a single solderable component, exposed every GPIO pin the RP2040 had, and was small enough to fit on my PCB. It also was specifically designed to be hand solderable to a PCB.
