    Hey, do you still plan on working on your RGB mod for PinePhone’s keyboard? It looked really awesome, but it’s probably a huge amount of work.

      I went through probably 20 different iterations of keycaps and got close to one I liked, but haven’t gotten back to finishing the project since I haven’t been using my PinePhone much. I think the main remaining thing is to make an Enter key model and a Tab key model. I want to get back to that project eventually but haven’t had time.

        Wow, that sounds complicated. But I’m curious if your keycaps would work better for typing than the default ones.

          Not really, it’s been a hassle to get them consistent enough to match the default ones. The small scale makes printing them difficult even after I got a resin printer for the project. I settled on a two piece design that works pretty well but the resin material is not as smooth as the injection molded stock caps.

            Interesting! I would love to see a progress update video some day, even if the project isn’t finished.

              I want to do a follow up eventually. I have some free time next week, might try to finish up the keycaps. I have the standard size cap that most of the keys use done and a spacebar that is the right shape and size, just needs attachment points for the stabilizer.
