So… I was thinking of this last night.
My soldering is… questionable. This means that in the best of circumstances I still have some resistance. A measurable resistance. If I made a keyboard with no diodes, just two very long wires, would it work? If I measured the change in voltage with each key press, would I be able to get a solid enough answer to what key was pressed? The nice thing, beyond the baseline simplicity, is it should have practically infinite KRO, and no ghosting. I think.
Bad ideas. Maybe when I get home, I should try this on a small enough test scale. I’m currently stymied by the curse of shitty router bits starting to char a bit (hahaha).
When I get home. Maybe.
