Quantity | Component name | |
1 | × | Hirose BM14B connector Actually more than 1 were needed as soldering these connectors onto the PCB is a real headache and most of them ended up molten from the heat. |
1 | × | Sprintek SK5126 Reprogrammable keyboard encoder chip from a company in California which converts a keyboard matrix into a USB output. Same USB is also used for programming the keyboard matrix and other parameters. |
2 | × | PCB one PCB to branch out from the Hirose connector, the other one is to solder the SK5126 chip. Joining both PCB with wires determines the layout of the matrices. |
1 | × | Any android phone one might want to use. In my case it's a Xiaomi because of how easy it is to mess around with and how cheap it is. |
2 | × | N.C. micro sensor switch One switch used to detect the slider's position, the other to detect when a charging cable is connected. |
1 | × | Physical keyboard In my case, I used the keyboard off of a Q10 due to the amount of information available online. |
1 | × | USB 2 and USB C connectors. |
