Homemade Boards
- Underset: A spartan 52-key column-staggered split keyboard
The aggressive pinky stagger of LaserRaven with numbers row and RP2040-Zero and TRRS underset the switch plate for simple cases that still isolates the electronics
- Now also in a v2 with USB-C instead of TRRS - LaserRaven: A 32+6 designed with nordic languages in mind.

- LaserProsthetic: Trackpoint ergo laser-cut from acrylic and MDF
Precursor to LaserRaven, laser-cut from acrylic and MDF.
- Frejas Hitbox: A gamepad made of Hama beads and cardboard
Made for and with my toddler.
- Lite-Puter Footpanel: Light-controller rewired to run QMK
A friend wanted foot-modifiers, so we wired this light controller to a QMK MCU.
- Scraps34: A split build on a sawn TKL plate
When you've definitively destroyed the main chip on the PCB.
3D Printing
- 1x1 MX plate test print
- Silakka54 cases
- ThinkPad keycap MX stems
- Comparision of JLC3DP SLA materials for keycaps (sponsored)
Building Techniques
- Solder-free handwiring using WireGlue: Tests
- Insulating handwired builds easily with acrylic paint
- A plate made of Hama beads
Ergogen
Mods
- Spacebar with adhesive putty for deeper sound
- Hotswap mod using cheap rivets
- Heat shrink on stablizers to reduce rattle (didn't work)

Questions
How big is the Laserraven traced and silked PCB?
It measures 340.3 × 120.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Laserraven traced and silked use?
78 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Laserraven traced and silked KiCad files?
From the humanplayer2/mkmods repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is homemade/laserraven/ergogen_v1/output/pcbs_produced/laserraven_traced_and_silked.kicad_pcb and its schematic homemade/laserraven/ergogen_v1/output/pcbs_produced/laserraven.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Laserraven traced and silked design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
