What you need to finish the build
You need 69 [Switches], a set of [Keycaps], with

Prologue
We started a quest of making a keyboard with fun, and useful features. Things seemed happy until we find out the features we wanted aren't easy to realize on current keyboard platform, such as QMK/VIA.
However our desire to implement all different kinds of stuff on a keyboard didn't stop.
That lead us to rebuild the whole thing including the firmware, and of course the PCB. Only this time, with more powerful microprocessor.
-
Smooth OLED Display
Necessity of a screen on a keyboard is arguable. But it is clear that we WANT one, and it's better be nice and smooth. Our OLED can display 60fps easy. Plus we're implementing useful, as well as fun features like the chieken boxer!
-
STEEL, Handmade, Artisan
Out of strong, hard and heavy steel, each piece is made by skilled hands. This makes each keyboard piece very solid, and very unique. Yet, unlikely to the other methods, we can make LARGE surface in reasonable price range.
-
Real Scripting
It doesn't have to be just a keycode or a simple macro that a key can do. We built the LUA engine in the keyboard so the users can allocate actual "Function" on a key. Of course it is also possible to use traditional macro for keys.
-
133MHz Dual Core Microprocessor
RP2040, Rather newly introduced microprocessor, is the heart of bitt101. Combined with 10MHz SPI multiplexer, It can scan the keys very quickly. And at the same time, processes all the other tasks like LEDs, game, and the user scripts.
