I wanted to design a funny keyboard with an alternative to TRRS, so I made this floppy disk sized keyboard! (Perfect replica, under 10cm x 10cm)
I made a build guide for it too: https://lexp.lt/posts/floppy_keyboard/
Good job man, cool as hell.
Oh. This is so cool. Have you considered covering the controllers with metal plates for that true floppy feel?
I didn’t but that’s a cool idea!
I also had the idea of using real floppy disks as backplates, since I have a few lying around.
This has to be the cheapest coiled split-keyboard cable option. Creative !
Really nice. What switches did you go with?
Thanks!
I went with twilight ambient switches, might add soft o-rings under the keycaps later (I have been using those switches and the o-rings idea on another board and I love it, so quiet).
For a while I considered putting some sunset for the tactility and the memories of membrane keyboards, but didn’t as I don’t really like tactile switches (for now).
