I called it very originally JoliKeyboard 2. There are three main differences in comparison with the first JoliKeyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>JoliKeyboard 2 has a single electronic board<\/strong> (aka PCB). Instead of soldering manually 55 repeated elements, wires are embodied directly on the PCB. Components such as the processor and Bluetooth chip are soldered on the board too.<\/li><li><strong>The case is 3D-printed.<\/strong> It&#8217;s a puzzle of four parts but it&#8217;s a single material, and it is designed to make JoliKeyboard <em>repairable<\/em>. 3D-printing also makes production easier than milling.<\/li><li><strong>JoliKeyboard 2 is powered by USB-C.<\/strong> USB-C offers to both deliver enough power for JoliKeyboard 2 and load\/update the processor software.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/JoliKeyboard-2-v10.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Animation and breakdown of JoliKeyboard 2<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There a few other enhancements: JoliKeyboard 2 is a bit smaller in size, so it will fit better in small working labs, and it has two LEDs to assess the power and Bluetooth statuses, in order to assess what&#8217;s going on if something should be wrong (but that has never happened so far).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>JoliKeyboard (Original)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>JoliKeyboard is an important project of mine. It is a custom ergonomic keyboard designed to work with <a href=\"http:\/\/polsystems.rits-palaeo.com\">PolyCounter<\/a>, free counting software by Takeshi Nakagawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JoliKeyboard is fully compatible with PolyCounter, and offers additional functionalities such as a Redo key, and a Tab key for fast-switching between multiple instances of PolyCounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It features soft silicon keys with LED backlighting for easy finger positioning. It runs with DC power but connects to your computer via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JoliKeyboard is a (fully working!) prototype, but you are welcome to show your interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JoliKeyboard has been made possible thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.julienmaire.fr\">Julien Maire<\/a> who designed the electronic board, and to M\u00e9lanie Rouget who supervised the 3D-modelling. Thanks also to Jan for his great help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and did you know that JoliKeyboard actually owes its name to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i_love_pollen\">Daniela Festi<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JoliKeyboard is 33-cm long, 19-cm large, and 2.5-cm high. Not much bigger than a standard computer keyboard, finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC04887-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC04887-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC04887-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC04887-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC04887-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC04887-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC04887-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The electronic board.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1171-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1171-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1171-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1171-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1171-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1171-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The wires and tiny computer that runs the JoliKeyboard&#8217;s internal program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1594-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1594-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1594-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1594-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1594-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1594-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The first, fully working prototype and its beautiful colouring.
