Andy Warburton ❌❌❌<p>Finished building my new hardwired split mechanical keyboard this weekend! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprinted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinted</span></a> based on my own design, spray painted and powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico W’s. Of course, it’s running my fave <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keyboard</span></a> firmware <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/KMK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KMK</span></a>!
