My new job is entirely in office so I brought my moonlander keyboard into the office which left me without a split ergo keyboard at home. If I can make a foot pedal how hard could a keyboard be? Well there was a few new challenges but after a bunch of time in CAD, parts are starting to arrive.

I had always thought it wasn't possible to print keycaps for choc v1 switches, I thought the pins would always snap off. So I was buying mass produced keycaps for DPedal's side buttons instead.

I've been working on a redesign of dpedal that is more robust and uses an RP pico instead of a custom PCB to bring down the cost of an individual making their own. I'm happy with the CAD design, time to get printing and see how it handles reality.

I thought all Raspberry Pi Pico's had USB C, but it turns out only my slightly bootleg one from Amazon does that. Only realized when I bought a second one lol

Still figuring out how I will use bluesky vs mastodon. I've been using mastodon for tech stuff for years now and it's been great. On the other hand seems like most of my smash friends have moved over to bsky now. Anyway I recently built a custom controller for smash around the gram slim PCB.
