Cool concept, the $230 #OpenAI #Codex Micro. Couldn't resist giving #PolyKybd the same powers in under an hour. 😅 You can even read the agent status, no color guessing 😉 Cost: $0. No extra hardware, just firmware. #MechanicalKeyboards

Me: **really needs to get these V5 Rev4 gerbers in like yesterday to get them shipped before CNY** Also me: **spends 3 days nudging tracks around purely for aesthetics (yes, including the inner layers because fuck you)**

3/3 So I'm redesigning my footprint to have larger copper areas for additional adhesion and cover that copper with the solder mask. I hope this improves things! Also thinking about teardrops... Any experiences?

We're proud to announce our latest additions to the Stamp line, powered by @raspberrypi.bsky.social's latest MCU: - RP2350 Stamp - RP2350 Stamp XL - RP2xxx Stamp Carrier XL They will become available in a few weeks, but we want to mention some of the highlights in this thread:

I added some diffusers to the LED hole to make the light more ambient and the housing more dust proof. Over-engineered? #PolyKybd #MechanicalKeyboard

I do like the low profile tactile switches with the stepped/staircase profile!😁 Should I make the stepped profile available as a variation for the kit...? 🤔 #MechanicalKeyboards

Got a test batch with alternative FPC sockets (identical footprint, but pins are reversed), as the original part has a back order time of 180 working days... works! 😁
