Current design issues

  • Pinky columns too low
  • Supports overall finger column height adjustment, but not really so for individual finger height
  • Issue with the 1/3u footprint spacing
  • Reduce separation to, around less than 1/6 and confirm movement within the scope of general finger length (IE: Increasing height on pinky column should not raise the column higher than ring finger column)
  • Correct cutting paths
    • Bottom left router edge
    • Upper right arc bulge overtravel

Future Features?

  • OLED screen
    • LOL
    • Nano controlled
    • Rotary+click dial menu interface
    • Pomodoro display and menu management
    • Screensavers
    • Calculator???
  • Pro Micro support
  • Cover for exposed MCU (AKA: Mt Dew shield)
    • alternate mount location for MCU reset button
  • Number row (optional but supported)
  • Correct silk screen locations
    • Correct triple switch footprint silk screen borders, and make two sided
    • Correct Diode polarity print to not be overlapped by SMD footprint
  • Add M2 (case) mounts on corners
  • USB wire mounts for teensy connector bypass
  • Annoy-otron 5k
    • AKA Pomodoro interrupter
    • Counts down pomodoros
    • Counts UP wasted time on unacknowledged time expirations
    • Beeps with PCB mount speaker
    • Vibrates keyboard with mounted motor?!?!
    • Figure out a way to shut off input so you CAN'T continue working?
  • Mini USB hub (header mounted with paths to optional USB A female ports)
    • Requires wire mount for bypass teensy plug to hub rather than wire mounts
    • Parts are iffy, or board mount full circuit and SMD solder (cost bump)
  • Alternative switch locations (duplicates)
    • Bottom keys 2 and 3 in from the corner keys
    • Map to additional optional 3rd thumb key
    • Map to 3.5mm mono pcb mount jack (footpedal?!)
  • Hinge-ability, Plico style
    • How tho? PCB mount slip ring and brushes?
  • Alternative split angle support
  • Full Split support with QMK and pro micrii?
