The Compboard.
A portable composite keyboard based on a Planck, using illuminated SA relegendable keycaps. Rotate the board to expose different layouts and modes.
SA relegendable caps with legends on all four faces.
QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, shortcuts and gaming modes.
Printing, cutting, mapping and firmware experimentation.
A delayed orange milled case; the temp steel plate proved durable enough to keep.

Hundreds of hours, four faces.
The Compboard grew from a compact keyboard experiment into a hundreds-of-hours multidisciplinary build. SA relegendable caps, with legends designed for every face of each key, and LEDs behind translucent inserts.
Modes include QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, shortcuts and gaming. Rotate the board and the active layout changes. The author envisions a software ecosystem for generating legends, printable files and firmware from a profile.
