Headsup! Orders for first batch close tonight at midnight (CDT)

(4c) DIY kits are now open for orders on compression keyboards!

I have been designing and fine tuning the (4c) since late 2022, and am excited to share this product with the world. This first batch will be an extremely limited run.

Orders will be shipped out beginning in just 3 weeks from today 7/25/23.

Note: if you are purchasing the (4c) PCB kit, please check out our wiki for information on building a (4c) and uploading a custom layout! There is also a build guide video that takes you through all the soldering and assembly directions of the (4c) and its accompanying case.

With regards to cases, you can also purchase a 3D printed (4c) case from compression keyboards and they will ship out alongside the PCB kits. In addition, if you have your own 3D printer you can print your own case by heading to the wiki for files and more information.

The wiki with details on part selection, building, design files, and compiling firmware is here: https://compressionkeyboards.com/blogs/wiki

travel case has become magnetic, its almost the footprint of a phone. Magnetic wrist rest accessory anyone?

Thanks to everyone on the subreddit (now lemmy community!) that encouraged me to pursue making these real! I’m so happy to be giving back to the community and making these designs available to everyone on Github.

    • for the main half (by default the right board) battery is reported both to the OS and on the display, the other half only shows battery on the screen. The left half lasts longer that the right. So recharging both sides when your computer reports battery is low will ensure you always have charge.
    • print out this dxf
    • just choc v1s for now, in the future I am hoping to make a mx version.

    The group buy ends tonight at midnight (central time) btw! This first batch is very limited but future batches will run longer.
