ScottoChoczard Handwired Keyboard

ScottoChoczard Handwired Keyboard

The ScottoChoczard is a wireless split 3x6 ortholinear keyboard that uses Choc switches and large 750mah battery. It is the evolution of the ScottoHazard that has been my daily driver for about 3 months now. The board uses super lightweight Choc pink switches along with my ScottoCaps (Scooped) for Choc. The board is entirely wireless through the use of a nice!nano and large 750mah battery which will give it about 2 months on a single charge.

 

Getting One

If you’re interested in getting one assembled, contact me and we can discuss the components and other details for a commissioned build. However, the files are available here if you want to build one yourself.

In addition to the 3D printed caseheat shink tubing, wire, and copper, you'll also need tools along with the following components:

 

Wiring

ScottoChoczard annotated matrix.

When looking at the back of the board, the columns (blue) go to the following pins on the controller from right to left: P0.22, P0.24, P1.00, P0.11, P1.04, P1.06

Then the rows (red) go from top to bottom: P1.13, P1.11, P0.10, P0.09

Keep in mind, you can connect anywhere on the column or row to the controller, it doesn't need to just be at the end.

 

Firmware

You can find the most up-to-date firmware on the ScottoKeebs Github repository. Also available are the pre-compiled firmware files that are ready to flash:

colemak_left.uf2
colemak_right.uf2
qwerty_left.uf2
qwerty_right.uf2

The board supports ZMK Studio so you can configure your keymap with a graphical user interface.

After flashing both controllers, press the reset buttons at the same time to pair the halves after powering up the controller.

The nice!nano link is pointing to the battery. Feel free to remove this comment once you have it fixed. Thanks for your work!
