Red Herring Keyboard

Red Herring is a 75% ortholinear keyboard with staggered columns and a split ergonomic layout similar to an Arisu/Alice. Here you will find the KiCad 6 files for the PCB and plate, along with Illustrator files for the case and wrist rest. Keyboard features:

• Through-hole or hotswap socket variants
• Diodes arranged in a unique herringbone pattern
• Large rotary encoder knob (up to 48mm diameter)
• 64x128 OLED display (SSD1107)
• Compatible with most standard keycap sets (1.75u for left shift, and 2u for left space)
• Different layout options, including ISO

Firmware (Vial):

If you're flashing a brand new MCU, you will need to use an ISP programmer to install a bootloader first. I didn't have an AVR ISP programmer, so I flashed a spare Elite-C to do this.

Look in the firmware folder for hex files and more info on flashing.

This project would not have been possible without the time and dedication of everyone who worked on the amazing keyboards I learned and took inspiration from. To name a few: Jabberwocky, Boardrun, Basketweave, Adelheid, Mercutio, Discipline, and Mysterium.
