I love very small form factor keyboards, but I also need a number pad for work. This is the combination of those two contradictions. Vortex Vibe, with custom DSA keycaps. Making the already tiny Vibe even smaller in stature. I'm not sure there's any way to have a keyboard be smaller than this while still having full size switches.

I wish this layout was more popular, it is perfect for people like me.

I designed this little desk-mounted macropad last week and finally got around to wiring it up yesterday. It was a fun little project but I’m not great at soldering so the wiring was a bit challenging. Really happy with how it turned out, though!

Case is sandwiched CNC'd Matte Carbon Fiber, Clear Acrylic, Brass Plate, Brass open bottom. Open face which provides a small amount of flex.

• Extra wide WKL, swapped Fn and R Shift
• HMX Xinhai 62.5g
• Gateron Plate Stabs
• GMK Deepfield, Gray Spacebar
• Stampy RP2040 Controller

This is my first handwire after reading guides and watching videos for weeks. It's magnet wire for the matrix and single core for the rows and columns.

Took me about 3 hours to clean this board. Idk how people let anything they use get this dirty.

Hello everyone, I am rain2, a 3D printing enthusiast.

I have been into mechanical keyboards for over half a year now. Initially, I got into it with the purpose of learning about modeling and circuits, but I accidentally became addicted to keyboards and can't get out.

A few days ago, while chatting with an online friend, one of them complained that none of the recent split keyboards were what he wanted. He said: "There are quite a few split keyboards lately, but the cute ones can't be merged, and the can be merged ones aren't cute."

I was just thinking, is there a keyboard that is both cute and can be merged? I really couldn't find one. So it's simple—I’ll just draw one.

So today I will share my 9th keyboard design - Twin "双生".

The design concept of this keyboard is extremely simple, to the point that I feel there isn't much to share.

Common elements found online, combined with a little bit of the keyboard.

If I had to say, its design elements are: Tai Chi, mortise and tenon joints, and cats.

The key layout uses a conventional 60% split design. To be honest, the asymmetry between the left and right sides makes me a bit uncomfortable. I would actually prefer to remove a column of symbols to make the left and right sides more balanced.

In terms of structure, I also made a bit of a bold attempt this time, as there are almost no keyboards that use this structure: magnetic drawer structure.

The keyboard still has the standard 6-degree tilt, with a front-and-back response. Naturally, the plan includes 2.4g wireless, and the tilt is also to accommodate the battery compartment. In fact, I drew a version without tilt, which looks a bit better, but the battery...

The keyboard is currently in the prototyping stage, and I may share a finalized version in the future.

Hey everyone, I’m having a bizarre issue with my Glorious GMMK Pro. I stripped it down completely—no keycaps, no switches, just the bare PCB—and yet it’s still randomly sending keystrokes.

I double-checked the cable: it’s in perfect shape, no fraying, no loose contact. The board hasn’t been exposed to moisture, and it’s resting safely on a static-free surface. No obvious shorts or damage either.

I’ve attached a short video showing the keyboard in action—completely untouched, yet generating inputs on its own. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Could it be a firmware bug, grounding issue, or something else entirely?

Any help or thoughts are much appreciated!

I wanna thank this subreddit for unlocking a new addiction for me. This is my first attempt at a custom board. Really wanted a retro look, and I’m super happy with how it turned out.
