monic part 3: towards a handheld

[F-73P]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've ordered Japanese "Alps Alpine" switches and keycaps, and have started making some keypad labels.

The i.MX RT EVK boards offer speed and large memories, and the IDE is free and supports programming in C and assembly.

(exemple @ about US$255 for 4 parts, with embossed keys , their stainless domes and 4 colors on the overlay)
OK, bit expensive and not as good as a real keyboard, but has a professionnal look to it.

Thanks for the links, they look great. Definitely something to keep in mind for the future.
