Ergonaut One

Ergonaut One in Modern Case

Ergonaut One is an open-source ergonomic wireless split mechanical keyboard designed by Ergonaut Keyboards.

Inspiration for the keyboard was taken from these projects:

• Corne by foostan
• Dao by yumagulovrn

Idea

We wanted to create a pretty affordable, nice looking, and, most importantly, very DIY-friendly ergonomic wireless split keyboard with Gateron Low Profile switches.

Features

• Low-profile, which will reduce strain on your beautiful hands;
• Split. You can put the keyboard where it'll be comfortable exactly for you;
• Pretty long battery life. 250mAh battery gives up to a month of usage without charging;
• Wide availability and range of compatible keycaps;
• Easily replaceable switches thanks to hot-swap sockets;
• Budget-friendly, because:
  • It uses relatively cheap and widely available Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 as MCU;
  • It uses one PCB design for both halves of the keyboard;
  • Everything except PCB's, components and hardware (screws, nuts) can be 3D printed.
• Beginner-friendly, because:
  • PCB is easy to solder;
  • Cases are easy to print.
• Wireless by design - no unnecessary wires, no unused connectors on the board;
• Free in terms of hardware design. It's licensed under permissive CERN-OHL-P v2 license, which means:
  • you are free to manufacture it yourself;
  • you are free to sell your manufactured hardware for profit.
