Clack-Attack Deep Thought

<p>The Clack-Attack™ Ultimate Question is an open source 40% keyboard you can download and build on your own!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Firmware files found on the Github repository here: https://github.com/bishopj7/UltimateQuestion</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I figured “Ultimate Question” would be the perfect name for this design - 42 keys, and even after building and using it for a while, I'm still asking “why/how can someone use a keyboard this size as a daily driver?” It's a nice change of pace, and who can argue with a little bit more desk space in a pinch?&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is far from a final design - actually, this is the alpha release of the keyboard. I have been playing around with the key layout and arrangement and am pretty happy with where it is currently. &nbsp;The plate for this particular model supports a 1.5u cap on the caps lock/tab space, though a revision with support for standard 1.75u caps lock position will be released shortly.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Case and plate are designed to be held together with M3 screws, with threading incorporated into the lower case print. There is also a model available with space available to use either knurled nuts or hex nuts heat fitted into position. The MCU retainer is designed for small m2 screws, but self-driving or machine screws should work just fine.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Things you'll need to finish this keyboard:&nbsp;</p><p>1N4148 Diodes (42x)</p><p>Pro Micro, Elite-C or similar</p><p>42 MX-style keyswitches</p><p>Screws for assembly</p><p>Wire for assembly</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
