ScottoKatana with Gateron Milky Yellows Typing Test

I've built a hardwired board that sounds good for the first time ever. This version is fully 3D printed, including the keycaps. It uses an integrated plate design that requires a substantial amount of support material. V2 is coming soon and will feature a gasket mount. The katana layout is also quite nice to use.
Switches: Gateron Milky Yellows
Stabilizer: Durock V2 Plate Mount Clone
Keycaps: ScottoCaps (Scooped) printed in PLA
Lube: Krytox 205G0, Dielectric Grease
Mods: Holee Mod, Polyfill

As promised, here is the typing test of the ScottoKatana using an integrated plate design. In a few weeks I'll build the gasket mount version, I'm just waiting on parts. You can read more about the board here: scottokeebs.com/blogs/keyboards/scottokatana-handwired-keyboard

[@sumnerd69]

that looks so good man
congrats

[@erichanson5628]

Amazing keyboard Joe!!!

[@joe_scotto]

Thanks 🙂

[@hereforthethock]

Very Nice! It looks and sounds great.

[@authenticLC]

Joe I love your videos and I'm planning to make and design my own keyboard at the end of the year! You're a big inspiration.

[@gusonian8637]

Hey Joe, been loving your keebs lately and I’m thinking about building a Scotto34 (and a modified one maybe). Thanks for your work and guides, especially on PCBs and keyboard tech.

[@alexmelillo1247]

Lovely

[@josephle5686]

You should add 10u and 15u spacebar support

[@joe_scotto]

I’ve been thinking about this, it’s already running the same firmware as my other 10u board.

[@crmsn_]

The Skatano 🖤

[@m5studio]

Wondering where you found a rp2040 promicro controller that from the looks of it has the same footprint as a standard promicro with a atmega32u4?

[@arska-pelejavlogejajaautoj5030]

I'm not sure which one this is, but there are multiple rp2040 Pro Micros. Three that come to mind are 0xCB Helios, Sea Picro, and Splinky.

[@MrJibJub13]

bro that’s a cool keyboard and i don’t even do much with 40% and smaller

[@clemke9218]

Did you make the keycaps through the first layer color swap method?

[@joe_scotto]

Nope, these are scooped so that’s not possible. I used a multi color printer instead.

[@cjeymsu]

I can't see how right hand rows (left part of the image at 0:40 since it's upside down) wired to a controller.
Asking because I am designing similar style keyboard and not sure if it's better to have wires connecting rows for both hands or to use additional IO pins.

[@joe_scotto]

It wasn’t shown but there is a wire connecting the rows from both halves.

[@user-cn5nv9li7k]

I am looking for a cheapest ergonomic keyboard, but unfortunately prices are so high. At least a cheap ortholinear. Is there a possibility to find for 100 Dollars? Is it possible to build it without 3d printer?(it is also not bossible to find rasp and arduino in my country)

[@grassfedreeve]

Cheapino is crazy cheap.

[@grassfedreeve]

You could also do a small unibody hummingbird with a miao controller. It uses a ch552 which is dirt cheap.

[@irzaadityamahendra8913]

what firmware are you using?

[@joe_scotto]

QMK

[@cinlung]

I think you should patent and sell the keyboard layouts you made. Some of them are very interesting if they are made into publicly available products.

[@SanderMakes]

They are publicly available because there isn't a patent on them. Besides, such a patent would be completely unenforceable and thus worthless.

[@EZ3KIEL2517]

Love this design! Keep them coming. 🤌
