I’ve been working on a design for a split keyboard that is a hybrid between a Corne and a Sofle.

So fair the electrical and software aspects work, I still need to sort out the chassis.

Some features:

  • Efficient backlight circuit (at 100% it uses 20mA)
  • Custom MBK Choc caps from fkcaps.com (the glow is awesome)
  • ~250mAh battery (still low profile as there’s a hole in the PCB for the battery)
  • Dual EVQ encoders
  • Fully wireless using Nice Nanos
  • The layout has MacOS and Windows modes
  • Choc spacing

Once I’ve got the chassis done and I’ve cleaned everything up a bit I’ll open source it.

Here’s a preview of the chassis design so far:

    Thanks.

    The time and cost exceeds any practical advantage, so, yeah, a little crazy is about right I guess.

      Not everything needs to be about practicality. Even tho I don’t really understand the world of “ergo mech keyboards” I deeply admire the passion and creativity flourishing from this community. Cheers to you!
