Fabricated PCB

It's beautiful. Time to put it all together.

Assembly

This build involved:

  1. Tape modding choc switches for sound, at the expense of my sanity.
  2. Installing mill-max sockets for hotswap switch support.
  3. Soldering the nice!nanos, battery, and power switch.

After a night of diligent hacking, I had a quiet, low-profile, wireless, hotswap, split 32-key shrine for Ferris the Crab.

Next up is the firmware.
