Building Handwired Keyboards with Choc Switches
In this video, I showcase my newest handwired keyboard, the Scotto34 along with some very neat things it does. The board itself uses Kailh Choc Robin clicky switches and runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico. The controller uses pin-socket headers to make it removable and the back of the board is a transparent piece of polycarbonate.
This board is one of my favorites that I've built so far. Something about the low travel distance of the switches and the tactile feel of the click bar feels so right. Also, the exposed controller and wiring make it look really cool too!
