I draw stuff. I also throw shit at the wall and call it game development.

Some more progress on this custom trackball. That's the core "module" for it comprised of the main PCB + ball. Stuff like button clusters and wrist rest will literally be bolted on to that. The ball itself's also 3D-printed, works better than expected! #arduino #3dprinting

You know, I'm not too fond of Kensington's "slab-like" form factor for their trackballs, but their scroll rings do be kinda cool don't they. #trackball #diy #3dprinting #arduino

My thinkpad doesn't have a numpad and could use something more portable than the average USB ones, so... just made one! Used kailh square mouse buttons and an #arduino pro micro. Sure, tactility's compromised due to size... but look at the cute lil' thingy lol #diy #3dprinting

Wanted a way to easily fit those tiny switches on projects, so that'll do. These suck for typing (too heavy), but will do quite nicely on a macro pad or a controller! #diy #3dprinting

Well, by ripping the silicone dome off and just holding it in place with the custom frame, travel distance is increased and it feels WAY lighter, making these more suitable for typing! Now I wanna make an actual keyboard with these to try out lol #diy #3DPrinting #keyboard

When you're sick as shit but can't stay forever in bed so you finally learn to wire a key matrix. As well as do something with these lil limit switch adapters I made recently. I should try to make a full board with these lil thingies. #3dprinting #diy #arduino

Started printing with flexibles, so made a new phone case. Not only looks subjectively alright, the slits in the back let me hook in my amp (velcro got annoying after a while). Let's see how this holds long-term. #3dprinting #DIY
