README

CC-BY license

A 36 key split keyboard with "long-necked" thumb clusters. Wired, powered by Raspberry Pi Picos, diodeless. Inspirations include Ferris Sweep / sweep36, draculad, samoklava, piantor.

Status: v0.0.1 / e54525c prototypes have been tested and are functional. See Tags.

Goals

  • simplicity
  • declarative design (ergogen and specifically, my fork)
  • 5x3+3 wired split
  • soldered MX to build plateless
  • diodeless
  • lowered thumb cluster comfortable to my hands
  • to learn PCB design!

Build

BOM

  • 2x PCB (they are reversible, fabricated by JLCPCB)
  • 2x Raspberry Pi Pico (I used WeAct Studio Pi Picos)
  • 2x TRRS PJ-320A jack (4 pins)
  • 36x MX switches

Be sure to use the main branch. Gerbers can be found in output/pcbs/routed/. Archives of the routed PCB and gerbers are located in output/pcbs/routed/backups. Firmware (KMK) can be found in firmware/kmk/.
