this unicode browser is pretty much working now! i think i need to change to a larger integer format so it will correctly display the higher code points (they are in the game and work in-game, but not in this browser).
p.s. wow i really have drawn a lot of unicode characters at this point.

these keycaps are such an improvement (first factory run of KLP lamé).
i did a strange but sensible thing and made a 3 row cradle over the alphas, with F keys (occasional use) flat and set apart above that.

i just started Tower Dungeon. the stonework in this is fascinating. it feels as though the stone built the landscape, the humans and other creatures are a secondary ecology. it has the spirit of Blame!, but the lens here renders it as much more surreal.

i have been working out some particulars of how limbs and limb musculature could work in [wind speakers]. some of the muscles are either flexors or extensors, depending on which way you are walking.

ah so you can get them with this style of header? yeah i'd probably just do it myself then, that way i can have hot swap.

i swapped around some parts. this is currently obsf 30 buttons (with very thin silicone washers added to absorb impact) and a seimitsu LS-40, which is quite light and gentle and offers good feedback for fast, precise movement.

that's not bad. one of them was seated slightly high, and I had a little bit of solder mess on another one, but I managed to clean it up pretty well. time to go and put firmware on this and test it!

I approach is to put one in each corner and solder those first, for alignment when doing the rest of the pins. this RP 2040 has one extra row but it works perfectly. the extra hangs off the top.

a budget solution to this is to use the pins from these little RGB connectors, and yank them out of the plastic component. they're not quite as strong as tailor made pins but they work very well.

i'm attaching this pro microwave to a keyboard using hot swap headers, and i need to attach pins to it. there's food resistant tape over the headers to keep it from adhering.
