The Arkenswoop by Lexy Plateau aka SuperFola/folaefolc is not just a Lord of the Rings themed revision of Jim Merricks's Swoop, it also comes with a set of new features and updates.
Don't worry it isn't just a themed put on it, I added hotswap support, keeping the reversible design and wireless support. I also removed the LEDs, having no use for them – folaefolc.
The encoder was moved a bit to the bottom because it was interfering with the nearest keycap, and the key became stuck upon pressing it.
Features
- 34 low-profile Kailh Choc switches
- Hotswap
- reversible PCB
- Dual side-scrolling encoder (EVQWGD001)
- OLED screens
- Power switch for battery management
- Pro Micro compatible
- Bluetooth support (nice!nano)
- Plate style case with MCU cover
