Building a Split USB-C Handwired Keyboard
The new year is fast approaching and I wanted to get one more build out. This is the Scotto44 which is a 3x6 column-staggered split keyboard that uses a USB-C cable as the interconnect and is powered by Raspberry Pi Picos. The switches are a mix of Kailh speed bronze and pale blues along with custom 3u stabilizers for the action button on each half.
