Split leather turned out to be the perfect material for this case — just the right thickness, lightweight, and soft enough to use as a bag-in-bag sleeve for my keyboard!

Hey! I made some leather keycaps, and they’ve developed a really nice patina over time.
I love how the color has changed as they aged.

For the stems, I attached 3D‑printed parts, though.
The second and third photos show them before the patina developed.

I got a 0.8mm nozzle for my 3D printer and suddenly felt the urge to design a keyboard with a wavy, fluffy shape. The more I modeled it, the more it started to look like a sheep, so I ended up naming it WoooL.

Since I was already leaning into the theme, I added grooves on the back so I could glue actual yarn into it. Yes, the parts list includes yarn!

Would love to hear what you think of it.

I built a split keyboard with a 55mm trackball, and honestly… I can’t stay away from this thing anymore.

ZMK firmware, a lot of switches using Charlieplexing, a 55mm trackball, rotary encoders on both sides, and a 4‑way + push switch. It’s absolutely packed with features.

I originally designed and used a wired version called Mooose, but after moving to ZMK and making it possible to go wireless, I added "Free" to the name to reflect the freedom from cables.

Switches: keygeek Y3, Kailh Ghost, and others Keycaps: awekeys Air, etc.
