    Excellent walkthrough! I'm printing my plates right now, for my first attempt at building a keyboard.

    Loved it! I wanted to change the layout a bit, so I was thinking about ordering a PCB, might try to do this instead!

    I made my first redox a few years ago, Yesterday i discovered there is a Multimedia version now... this is going to get expensive :D

      #TIL I didn't know we could use a Pi as the microcontroller. I'd love to have a ... something inside the case, so I could have my very short cable headphones plugged in to my Keyboard along with USB hub and a card reader

    I have seen some keyboard use trrs jack to connect the left and right part , can you maybe explain how to do that ?

      I've not tried it but KMK docs have a section: github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/split_keyboards.md

    I am also about to build my own redox keyboard and remodeled the 3D parts on my own because there where things I did not like.
    Now I am about to print the parts and was asking myself if you adjusted the infill for the printing process or did you go for 100% infill?
    Or can you recommend something here like printing the parts fully without infill?

      Hi Hasan, I don't have the files saved but I'm guessing I'd have done it at 100% or fairly close. My cura profile has 6 top and bottom layers and the thickness of the flat bits is ~24 layers... so given it would only be 12 layers out of 24 it probably doesn't make too much difference 😄 That said, I don't get any noticeable flex while typing, I can see a little flex if I deliberately push down much harder than typing pressure.

      @@CraigManning thanks a lot! 🙂 Now it's a little clearer that I should go the full print way. The flex issue was my concern but if you don't have a problem like that it's good to hear.

      Hi, KMK works on circuitpython( github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware ), I have it working really well on this keyboard. It's nice and flexible I made some notes here: ruclips.net/video/i43lZPAkA2c/видео.html

      I've seen people on etsy selling pre-built ones but you are looking at a good few hours of skilled work, so not cheap. If you have a maker space nearby there's likely someone who could help with the printing and soldering?

      Hi Reignand, I keep mean to put a nice picture somewhere but haven't yet. sachee.medium.com/building-my-first-keyboard-and-you-can-too-512c0f8a4c5f Sasha's pictures (about halfway down the page) are probably better than mine would be :) I put columns in one side of the pico and rows in the other just to help with debugging. Have fun with your build!
