In my spare time I like to tinker and write, but my writing has been taking a backseat a lot lately so in a typical procrastinating fashion, instead of just forcing myself to sit down and write I spent a few months building myself a writing computer!
I was inspired by 60's and 70's retro typewriters. I called it the MUSE because I wanted it to inspire me to write but it's also an acronym that stands for Most Unusual Sentence Extractor. Originally I wanted to make this with an E-Ink display, but after some problems with parts and usability, I decided to go with a touchscreen.
The keyboard is probably my favourite part. I was fortunate enough to get this part of the project sponsored by PCBWay.com. I used an open source 68 keys mechanical keyboard that I put together myself. I had all the parts custom printed through PCBWay.com and it turned out really good. The black metal anodized key plate is really satisfying and the PCB ended up working perfectly.
