Article note: Sweet! someone built a clone of the style of chorder used on the Engelbart SRI machines and the Alto.\nI've been thinking about doing it for funsies, but never decide to do so since it's historically interesting but not actually ...good.<\/div>

Learn Guide: USB Keyset<\/a><\/h2>\n

This is a take on a custom input device inspired by the original keyset from the 1960’s<\/a> that never quiet caught on. This 5-finger keyset lets you type without moving your hand, entering full words and phrases by pressing multiple keys simultaneously as a chord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Content Summary:
\n– The guide provides instructions on building a custom USB HID device that functions as a chording keyset, allowing users to type words and phrases by pressing multiple keys simultaneously.
\n– It includes a step-by-step process for assembling the 3D printed chording keyset, wiring the components, and programming the Adafruit QT Py RP2040 with CircuitPython to create the USB keyset.<\/p>\n

Adafruit Products Summary:
\n– The project is powered by the **Adafruit QT Py RP2040**, a small and powerful board based on the RP2040 chip: https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/product\/4900<\/a>
\n– A **USB-C Cable** is used to connect the USB keyset to a computer or USB hub: https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/product\/6278<\/a><\/p>\n

\nEvery Thursday is #3dthursday<\/a> here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!<\/p>\n

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Feather<\/a> or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi<\/a> to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects<\/a> that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!<\/p>\n

The Adafruit Learning System<\/a> has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature<\/a> it here!
