MarcoPolo – Partially Functional - keyboardMarcoZola2021-06-13T00:00:00+00:00https://marcopolo.io/tags/keyboard/atom.xmlNew Keyboard2021-06-13T00:00:00+00:002021-06-13T00:00:00+00:00https://marcopolo.io/life/keyboard/<p>I got around to building this new keyboard. It's essentially the <a href="https://twitter.com/adereth/status/852975999905964032">lightcycle
version</a> of the <a href="https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard">Dactyl
keyboard</a>. The few differences are
that the space and port for the board is bigger to accommodate a
<a href="https://nicekeyboards.com/nice-nano/">nice!nano</a> board with pins.</p>

<p>The keyboard is wireless thanks to the nice!nano. The board has a USB-C
connector, but I added these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Charging-CAFELE-Braided-Compatible/dp/B08BLJ62J8">magnetic charging and data
cables</a>
to make charging and connecting easy and lessen the force on the port on the
board.</p>

<p>I can also sling the keyboard halves with some cord and wear it as a stylish
scarf.</p>
