This is Nihonkey, a Japanese/English/Numeric input keypad where the whole thing rotates to allow four direction flick-style control of keyboard input!

Parts List:

❤❤❤

Instructions:

  1. Print all the pieces in PLA. No supports should be needed. There should be 12 key pieces and one of each for the rest.

  2. Follow the circuit diagram provided to solder the diodes, resistors, and keyswitches parts together after snapping the keyswitches into the 3D printed frame.

  3. Use dupont wires to connect the joystick and keys to the Arduino Pro Micro.

  4. Squeeze the hole at the bottom of the keyboard box on to the joystick securely.

  5. Use hot glue or other adhesives to secure the 3D printed keyboard box together.

  6. Use a sticker printer to produce the labels. The file should be 1.5" by 2". Make sure to add the cut lines around each key. Peel off each sticker label and adhere to each key.

  7. Upload the code to the Arduino and test out!
