I also found it fascinating. It seems like retail mechanical keyboards lag behind hobbyist designs by a little, so I’m excited for the advent of retail split wireless ergonomic mechanical keyboards (it looks like Kinesis is already coming out with one later this year?). Although maybe it is time for me to finally learn soldering…
Also, was surprised that the ZMK error messages were so inscrutable. I wonder if there’s maybe a more elegant way to do this; sounds like it could be a domain-specific language in a “real” programming language.
How secure is the sort of Bluetooth encryption one finds with these chipsets? I would be concerned that someone with an SDR could sniff passwords all day long.
Read the whole series(all 13 posts), interesting read.
