Nah, I only use it for occasional things like toggling my mic and webcam in Zoom and adjusting volume. And then I have a macro that turns off my computer.

A guy who runs a local print shop gave it to me when I was picking up some other stuff. I'm not sure if he ever ended up selling them but he does have some other ITYSL merch.

You're looking at a nude egg.

Nope, they just weren't being used and were the right rows to go with the ISO.

Right now 7, 8, and 9 are mute, volume down, volume up. 4 and 5 toggle my mic and webcam in Zoom, 6 needs to be mapped to something still, and Return definitely does not toggle a mouse jiggler.

 

First handwired design/build

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!

Specs:

  • Raspberry Pi Pico MCU
  • Gateron Oil Kings
  • Drop Dasher

I mentioned in a previous post that I made a few design changes to the Qazimodo case and wanted to highlight those changes.

New vs old design photos here.

  • Removed the visible seam between the top and bottom of the case. Now the bottom is inserted into the top. This helps a ton with alignment which was a bit of an issue with the first iteration and it helps smooth out the curve.
  • USB port improvements. The first USB port was pretty small and didn’t work with some cables. It also didn’t flow smoothly with the curve.
  • Doubled the number of bottom screws to help prevent pinging and make things more sturdy.
 

Last week I sent this purple Qazimodo prototype to my good friend (chellekeebs on Instagram) and she took these amazing photos of it. Love how it looks with Lilac Dreams.

I was very close to not doing a purple case but I’m so glad I did!

Made some design updates based on feedback I received from a couple fellow keyboard designers and I just received the first two prototypes this week. Super happy with how they turned out.

This was an actual typing test using the QAZ keys over on the right side which is less horrible than I imagined it would be. I probably got lucky, though, because there weren't many Q's or Z's in my test.
