Desk of Ladyada - Lots of Keeb Samples & Resin Keycap Fun!

This weekend we got a whole bunch of keyboard enclosure samples, a 60% keyboard PCB we’re checking out for inspiration, and a silicone mold for making keycaps. We tried making some and learned a bit. They GH60 was also interesting, let’s check out some design decisions! The Great Search - 1N4148 Signal Diodes in DO-35 and SOD-123 Looking at a lot of keyboard kits, we noticed that many use a diode key-matrix to connect lots of keys without a ghosting effect. We should probably source long tape strips of 1N4148s for folks making keyboards and key matrices! Let’s talk about 1N4148s in two packages - DO-35 (classic glass) and SOD-123 as seen on a keyboard we purchased. #deskofladyada #thegreatsearch #adafruit Visit the Adafruit shop online - ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE!
