Description
The Mosquito (an evolution of the Midge) is open-source too: https://github.com/jimmerricks/bugs/tree/master/mosquitoBecause of the small number of keys this keyboard is matrix/diode free. The switches are wired directly to the controller's (nRFMicro) I/O pins and ground.
One of the problems with these smaller boards is that they can be a bit unstable. I have a couple of sheets of 1.5mm adhesive neoprene that I can cut up and use instead of bumpons. It's a bit ugly, but it stops the thing from sliding or jumping around – u/jamesmnw.
