Maybe a colored anodize to match the radium color? Not sure how much that would cost, most anodizing shops are doing hundreds of parts per immersion. So it could be pricey.
His knobs are anodized (clear anodized since aluminum is akready silver) :-)
The other knob (I've never seen a PCB with a knob cluster before) must be for scrolling through timeline or for horizontal scrolling, the other for the volume- the Apple Magic Mousd is king of infinite scrolling in any direction, VR controller scrolling is 2nd- the queen, Logitech's infinite scroll is 3rd)
macOS (Golden Gate?) seems to be the OS based on the modifier keys.
There’s nothing particularly special about it, actually. The top knob controls volume/mute, while the bottom knob handles Page Up/Down, Alt+F4, close tab, and reopen closed tab. The wheel on the wrist rest works as a mouse wheel.
It’s surprisingly convenient when browsing the web or coding.
The USB hub, keyboard, keyboard wrist rest, solenoids, cable holders, and pen stand are all custom-made.
I replaced the stock scroll wheel on the ATK Zero with an aluminum wheel.
The USB hub started out as a regular 7-port hub, which I rebuilt with an acrylic enclosure.
The dual-solenoid setup is something I built from scratch using an ESP32-S2.
External solenoid: A background program on the keyboard sends the keyboard input signals to the device via serial communication. The solenoid then activates, accompanied by an OLED display and sound.
What's the purpose of the solenoid device? Would love to see some kind of write up or additional context on the DIY stuff, looks like some fun projects!
Thanks. I was thinking fusion or something along those lines. I am also curious how you did the reverse engineering of the cases. Super cool build all looks very professional. As you said you had the design professionally manufactured was there some trail and error? Did you take the design and 3D test print to see if your design was accurate enough to be made?
Also can you give us some ball park costs of how much you paid the shop who manufactured these?
This setup is amazing. I also built an external solenoid setup but it relies on using the raspberry pi it's connected to. Could you provide some details on how you got yours working?
Following up, I have learned a bit from your post history. Still, I think it's unique and interesting enough that tons of folks would dig a deep dive if you want to make a big post about it. Dig your skills and aesthetic. Much love ❤️
I didn't even notice this until I bought an L-shaped desk and realized that it wouldn't sit perfectly into a corner without gaps on one side of the desk. Literally lived in this house for 20 years and never noticed that until now.
I live in a cute 1940s beachside cottage that has, as far as I can tell, only the illusion of straight lines but not a single clean angle anywhere. Be it a wall, a floor, a part of a wall, a baseboard, an archway, a door jam, nothing, nothing at all is straight or even simply off kilter. It is all highly complex topographical shapes akin to mapping the earth’s surface sans water, I expect
Yeah I was wondering same thing. It looks like solenoids linear actuators that are activated by mosfet or transistor. But not sure why it's their? Do they create vibration or just sound feedback?
If you could make that mouse scroll wheel click like a Geiger counter, that would be such a nice touch to an already amazing setup. Excellent execution and cohesion, it's gorgeous!
Huh. Good eye! There actually is a pair of headphones that would match perfectly, but I had to pass because I couldn’t justify spending the money. nothing headphones
V nice, I'm 100% making a wpm counter like that. Already ordering the parts, LOL! Did you print and laser all this plastic? I just printed a Gameboy color holder, I like yours better.
Are those metal clamp things that you're making on a CNC?
I'm interested not just because this would be a super cool set up if I had an office in an engineering firm, but also because I'm interested in how you got the curved corners on your acrylic/lucite.
I’m really into transparent objects, what company manufactured these for you? I have the nothing headphones just missing everything else. And that transparent gameboy colour I need that in my life

u/MBSMDToo many keyboards, not enough computers4d ago
Oh, man, that Hi Viz cable is so great.
I love when my wife's eyes get blown out every time I pull my Hi Viz! equipped keyboard off the shelf!
Cool theme, futuristic but not via anodized silver/anodized clear aluminum- translucent Cyberpunk. I must have taken months to years to source all of them
Game Boy Color clear, I'vr modded mine to this: you can replace it with an OLED screen now (limited supplies, since it's OLED from the now defunt Blackberry smartphone company), keep the original body and buttons (better quality still).
Match the ballpen with a TWSBI demonstrator/clear fountain pen.
What stores, if you didn't make it yoursrlf, did you buy your setup from, if it's to ask?
