Handwire matrix

I'm building a matrix using sockets from kailh. Sockets give more reliability when soldering. Using a spatula to parse the phone, you can remove the switches without soldering. In this design, the bottom cover relies on the sockets too. The entire matrix is assembled from diodes. It works well. matrix promicro

Trackball option

It was difficult. But I was able to add a trackball. It can still be folded, but the ball must be removed before folding.

3D Print

I used pet-g filament for printing and PrusaSlicer 2.5. I believe that it is necessary to use 3D glue to increase the adhesion of the printed table. I tried to make the keyboard as small as possible. Perhaps another filament will not be able to give the desired stiffness. It took me a while to print the arch and the bottom beautifully. Several models ended up in the trash can. I will attach a screenshot of the location of difficult to print models. Print front support Print arca custom support Print arca Print bottom 1 Print bottom 2
