I like making things!
Build your own keyboard (Redox Media)
Building an ergonomic split keyboard from scratch, lern how to do it!
I customized the Redox keyboard to my needs and made it my own. In the video I'm showing how to design, print, solder and program a self-built keyboard.
Find a detailed article and further information about the process here: shiftux.org/making_projects/keyboard.html

How to solder a trrs socket to pro micro?
doesn't matter. you need power, gnd and signal, the order on the trs jack does not matter, as long as you do it the same way on both halves of the keyboard
@@shiftux9189 cool! Thanks, I got it Can you tell what's better i2c or serial?
@@worldOFfans I'm using seiral. and i think the QMK lib is built for serial. but that might have changed in the meantime.
like this video❤
Do you have to open it anytime you want to flash a new keymap?
Does anybody knows about key rollover on Redox keyboads (ability to press multiple keys simultaneously)?
Awesome job! I have a Dactyl case on the way, but if that doesn’t work out then the Redox is very tempting. I’m a bit late to the video, but wanted to add for anybody else that might come across this video and looking to build their own, you should never connect or disconnect the TRRS cable while the keyboard is plugged in. You run the risk of frying a controller because you could short it as you remove the connector.
thanks for the comment. you're right, of course!
Do Dactyl has antighosting for all keys?
this is not a question of dactyl or not. it is a question of how you implement it. you need transistors (at least) on a hardware level and you need software which can handle it. - the combination gives any keyboard antighosting
your audio sucks !!
Amazing video, im hooked and ready to make it , but I wonder if you have any good list of materials you listed ! that would help a lot !
I think I love your keycaps. I too have to switch between languages and this looks very practical. What are they? From where did you get them?
maxkeyboard.com
true engineering stuffs.
any chance you could share your info.json file? struggling with the documentation trying to figure out what i need in there for this
not sure what you mean with the info.json file. check the linked github repo. all i have is there
@@shiftux9189 the file where you define the matrix of the keyboard. i think i have it correct, but i wont know for sure till ive finished wiring the keyboard. i really underestimated how long it takes to hand solder this.
could i in theory flip the left half and print that for a right handed one handed keyboard?
i guess that should work... you were thinking because of the microUSB cable?
@@shiftux9189 yeah, im trying to put together just a right hand one cause i play shooters left handed
good video. but the hanging wiring is a little sickening. just make a pcb, the keyboard is flat..
well. if i had access to what makes a pcp, the knowledge to make one and the software to design it, i would... but i don't :) happy to collaborate though :)
@@shiftux9189 that reply seems a little weird. all resources to make a pcb are available for free on tge internet. if you dont want to bother learning how to design a pcb i can totally understand, but saying you dont have the resources?
Good job. I guess it would now perform much better if printed out of LW-PLA.
yes, indeed. i would do a couple of things differently a second time around... :)
Amazing guide, thank you! I'm building a Redox and your video is one of the best resources I've found by far.
Beautiful mate. 👍
Did you put a plastic bag inside your superb keyboard? 😂 That was funny. Great build!
was afraid of short circuits while prototyping... :)
Thanks for a useful video. I am use Dactyl manuform at one year. It`s very comfortable!
this is a great video! you're good at presenting such topics.
Hey thank you. I just start building my own version How can I ask you some questions about?
sorry, a bit late. github or email
Hi Shiftux, I created one exactly like yours. The last part I haven't found is the screws. Please share me info or link of your screws <3
which ones do you mean? the 4 in the middle that act as the "feet" of the keyboard? - those are just threaded rods which i cut...
@@shiftux9189 yea, I haven't found the screws which have black pad like yours 🥲
Hey bro can you send me block diagram or circuit diagram
check the github page
Is this a MBudget Hoodie? XD ❤
even better: it's an MBudget Onsie! :)
can you share the wiring diagram for the mini jack? and what mini jack model did you use in the video? Thank You
he jack has 1 GND pin, 1 5V pin and one serial pin (serial-1 on the drawing). it's irrelevant how this is wired on the jack, just need to do it the same way on both sides ;)
Hi, is it possible to wire micro LEDs onto the Pro Micro as well?
don't know... probably not enough pins on the pro micro, but maybe if you remove the rotary encoders...
@@shiftux9189 thanks, I might give that ago and see if I can get it working
Hello, I want to build myself a redox-media keyboard with just two rotary encoders on the right side. On the "Wiring diagram" on the GitHub post, are those two rotary encoders hooked up? If so, that doesn't seem to reflect the actual design?
both sides have only 1 rotary encoder hooked up. the other 2 are push buttons. but yes, they are wired up (enc_padA & enc_padB)
why? why u make us suffer with openscad, are all the librarys complete? so dificul to make it in solidworks?
the redox default comes in scad. i just adapted it. but uploaded stl files for convenience :)
The mic is so big on the side....but didn't use it for the video...🤦♀
Hi, can you tell me exactly how the trs mini jack is connected to the controller? I can't find any details about it anywhere Thank you in advance
check the github page. the picture of the proMicro shows you the serial connection, this is 1 out of 3 wires. the 2 others are ground and 5V. how you wire them on the jack cable is up to you (irrelevant), as long as you do the same thing on both microcontrollers.
Would love to build my own ergonomic split keyboard. Have already a 3D printer.
Nice !!! )
Thank you
congrats
Can I press 4 or 5 keys together? For gaming?
yes, that is what the diodes are for ;)
I am interested to build a keyboard shape like ball
share the video, when you got there :)
Quick question. Do I see this correctly, that you did not connect the switch function of the rotary encoder at all? So, only outA and outB?
yes. the rotary encoder's button would require a separate pin on its own. whereas all the other switches are part of the matrix (many switches per pin). so it did not fit...
Amazing build! Thank you for sharing! Does the left side work without the right side?
thanks! :) - yes it does
Does the QMK Firmware support NKRO?
don't know NKRO...
a
no PCB ???:)
The opening is way too loud, and then the audio level for your actual recording is way too low.
ive read many sources, watched many videos. I understand the whole process (which is kinda easy since i have a software engineering background). One thing i cannot understand is how the 3.5mm jack is used to transfer data. I feel like im missing some trivial knowledge which doesnt allow me to understand how the 3d jack can be used to transfer data to the microcontroller. Can someone give me a source/link/article something i can read to understand this?
it's a simple serial connection. there is a drawing here: github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_split_keyboard.md#serial-wiring
Thank you man
Man it's awesome
That'S really awesome. I have a keyboard on my mind but I'm new to that domain. That's a lot to learn. Q: Can two different blackpill board be sync together even tho they're of different generations?
dunno. not familiar with them
Well it's funny how I got here because I would like to buy a split keyboard but I cannot find a supplier in my country so I'm considering building my own.
i'm not gonna offer to build one for you and sell it to you ;) but i will encourage you to build your own... :)
Nice!
Hey, great builds and a great video! I'm in the process of customizing a redox keyboard for myself (because they're pretty close to a perfect layout but lack some tenting options out of the box). One thing that you seem to have solved well, but which I can't find anywhere on github or on the build page is: What are the rubber feet you're using? Both on the m5 rods and on the outer sides of the keyboard? I can't find anything similar and having the metal rods scratch into the table surface is not really an option...
just from a local hardware store. nothing fancy. the ones on the rod are typical threaded rod protectors and the outer ones are what you might use on anything as (adhesive) "feet"
@@shiftux9189 nice, I'll look for the rod protectors. What I have found since are some generic rubber feet for use with random electronics cases, and they accept m3 screws. But their footprint is still bigger than what you used and I don't think they'll work as well when the tenting angle is bigger...
Super cool, I appreciate all the effort you put into this video! Would be fun to do this one day, but I may stick with the affordability of pre-made Printed Circuit Boards ;)
yes, you gain convenience BUT you miss out on the pride and joy of typing on something really self made :)
@@shiftux9189 Indeed! What an exciting achievement
Dude, what a keyboard! And Mac compatible.... You're my hero.
