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.
- 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!
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/.
Setup
git clone [email protected]:sboysel/giraffe36.git
