TheAlternate - A Handwired 67 Key Mechanical Keyboard
Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4357993.
More to come as i get this all uploaded and sorted out
As I said in TheDroppelganger summary (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4271448) I love my Drop CTRL - and if i was a very rich man, i would own all the variants...but i'm not...so I did the next best thing and designed a handwired version of the Drop Alt 67% keyboard. I also went with the high profile variant this time as well.
My intention this time was to glue-up the individual parts; then sand and fill the print and paint it. I wanted it to look a little more finished, and to see if I could make it look like something I purchased. Let me know if it was successful.
Parts List: Forthcoming
- Teensy 2.0 (available all over the place - amazon.com, pjrc.com)
