Read me and illustrations/images for info about, and build instructions for Mitosis wireless keyboard.

mitosis-docs

This is an in-process project to gather and document all the information about the Mitosis wireless, split keyboard in one place.

The goal

The goal of this project is to suport builders of the Mitosis at all stages of the project, with the hope that this result in many, many successful builds of this keyboard.

The status

This is still a work in process. The procedures have not been tested. Please use at your own risk, and send me any corrections and clarifications you notice.

At the moment I am collecting feedback on the first two, very important sections of it:

  • Build instructions: mitosis-buildinstructions.md
  • Parts list: mitosis-partslist.md

Please send me comments, or pull requests for changes and improvements.

Thank you.

Background

/u/reverse_bias (reddedit) designed and created the keyboard, announcing and reveling it on reddit.com, April 18, 2017.

I've become a bit obsessed with this keyboard while waiting for my build kit to arrive. While waiting I've been collecting all the available information on it that I could find, and started documenting it.

I've read some, but not too much of the code.

Where there was no information available I did my best to make intelligent guesses about how a thing (most likely) works. Some of the links to resources included I found on the web.
