Yoooo I never realised you were iamthis apollo dev, miss that app

Lovely video! Could I ask which filament you used for the keyboard case? It's gorgeous!

what's the keyboard at 3:47?

Hi. It's great that this is relatively easily possible today. But I have a question: Does this (chip) design allow n-key rollover? Or at least 4-key rollover? I have some more complex key combinations (for shortcuts) that I need to function.

Really random but I love how your desktop looks

What's the keyboard at 0:05 ? I love how simple the white case looks

Really happy to have found this video. I am just wondering: how, using the "grid layout" to find the key being pressed are you able to identify multiple keys being pressed at the same time?

okay, now how do i mount this to my aeron arms

Really cool vid, yeah. Indeed it burned down my brain. Hell Yea!!

What was the total cost for all the parts?

how much did the whole thing cost to make?

2:43 please dont sue me bill wurtz 😭

Loved the video. Great information at a macro level, not so detailed that I feel overwhelmed. I really want to design my own custom numpad that's low profile. I have a cidoo currently but getting VIA to work on it seems impossible. Any suggestions? I have a print farm, and I do cad modeling/gerber file creation for work. But no experience building a keyboard from start to finish

I wanted a dactyl manuform keyboard for the longest time. I started by researching about making one or where to get one. Making one seemed wayyy too daunting from the only video i could find on it at the time, so I bought one. It ended up never arriving and I never got a refund. After a couple years, I found this video which kinda inspired me to try to make it by myself now !! the explanations are super easy to understand thank you !

Nice

Please don't promote row+column approach for handling keys, it really limits the simultaneous keypresses and that really sucks. 11 vs 30 wires shoul not be that big of a difference.

Really well made video and explanations for everything!

Aaaa another keyboard junky... 😆

say, where would you get a wired controller for a unibody? making a 65% folding keyboard for a friend rn

I hope I’m not being rude but I wanted to nitpick something you said at around 15:25 flux doesn’t help the solder flow but rather help bond the solder to the pad. Without flux it can actually cause a cold solder which doesn’t perfectly attach the thing you are soldering

This video is awesome! The only fair it lacks is automatically disable itself when Reddit is open ;)

Amazing video!! Subscribed!! I love how detailed every step is.

I absolutely love the video. It made me consider finally going through with trying to get into my own custom keyboard. However: As I was trying to go along with the process and reading through the ZMK documentation I found something that was kinda odd to me: In the video you move your `boards` directory into your `config` directory and then move the caldera files into the `shields` subdirectory. When looking under the general configuration page it is stated that this location for the shield files is for backwards compatibility only and should not be used. So my question is: Is there a reason for why you did what you did? Or was this a recent addition to the docs?

gerber files? haven't heard about them since university 😀 great project!

I definitely would love to see an in depth video of Ergogen. I have watched several videos that talk about it but I like the way you explain things. Neat board you built! I might have to grab one.

LOL apple hahaha what a joke

It’s good idea maybe find the link just for make the order on pcb just everything ensambles and I just print 3D case and plug

I want find everything soldering I just want print the case and cornet the cables usb c and work you have the file for orden on pcbs

Now send it to factory in china to manufacure in bulk and sells for 233us dollars. I m. Being serious.

I was not even thinking of building a custom keyboard, yet I watched the entire video 😂

This is literally the video I've been waiting for for the past 4 years now. I'm not big into what's available but wanted so badly to make my own keyboard. Thank you for this !!!

15:56 ok I laughed. Great video

I was not expecting to get a lesson from this video. I might just make my own keyboard for a school project thanks to this.

this made me feel so inspired. i was one of those people who thought they couldn't do math, and now when i'm not working my corporate job i'm building keyboards and learning how to code for fun. thank you so much for making this info feel so accessible

i love how this video is showcasing a project while also being a tutorial at the same time. you dont usually see that these days

Anyone know which "add-in" or whatever he uses to get icons in the Mac terminal?

this is awesome, i am in awe

Excellent video! Really informative and very well presented and produced. I've already built couple of split keyboard kits but I learned about Ergogen here. I might design my own keyboard PCB for fun at some point and this video gave me good info and some more confidence in being able to do it without too much help.

You we like "only if I eaned it, suscribe", and man, you've earned it

Did youtube just drop 8K quality? Never seen that option on any other video before.

What are some of those things you'd want to improve for a V2?

2:00 playdate spotted 👀👀👀

man this was cool

I’m surprised he didn’t buy that characorder forge keyboard with the the could even save him on the amount of typing sorta.

Kind of enjoyed it? No sir I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this. Cant wait for more vids you def got a sub from me.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me change the PCB to use MX switches. This is exactly the kind of keyboard I’ve been looking for but I want to use switches that sound cool. I figured out how to fix all the settings in ergogen, but I’m not comfortable making the connections in kicad.

you should make an actual in-depth toturial!

What is Apollo?

Fantastic video. Will this setup work with BTT?

From scratch? So you refined the plastic from crude oil you dug up yourself? 😅
