A 4x10 ortholinear keyboard with a Knob and an LCD

freaku4X

A 4x10 ortho keyboard with a knob and OLED. It embraces the excess minimalism of the key count, and embraces the excess extravagence of a knob and oled screen. It also has a lower profile than your typical 4x10 orthos, since the microcontroller is facing upwards rather than downwards.

Status

Prototyping phase. While possible to print and use right now, a few refinements can be made. Right now, the knob button needs to be placed on the key matrix, and I would prefer to rotate the keys around so that hotswap is southfacing.

With that said, this keyboard in it's current form is usable with some amount of tinkering

Thank you to PCBWay for allowing me to experiment and create wild board designs that I wouldn't be able to prototype without their support. PCBWay has always been super friendly with their service, and the quality of thier boards are great, so I do recommend using their services. The've also been supporting the custom pcb keyboard community for a while, allowing for the hobby to continue to flourish.
