The banime40 is a 4x10 gasket mounted hotswap ortho keyboard that supports multiple configurations.
Hey all! I got a comment on my last post asking for a 4x10 ortho with a spacebar in the middle, so I went ahead and made a board that supports 24 4x10 layouts! – sporewoh.
Features:
- Hotswap
- Gasket mounted
- Multiple configurations supported (24 layouts)
- Modular top system (several blockers available to choose from)
Here are some of the possible layouts:
In addition, all files are open and available for download.
In the github repo below you can find not just the PCB files (KiCAD and Gerbers) but also the STL/STEP files of the case:
