Designed by Radliński Ignacy (aka l9nachi ), Basilisk is a Dactyl-like handwired ergo split keyboard, drawn up in Fusion360.
Recently finally got time to assemble my last project - I call it the Basilisk. It is the first handwired keyboard I assembled, and also the first one I designed – l9nachi.
The controllers are WeAct RP2040 boards, it uses TRRS cable for communication between the halves, and at the bottom-most thumb keys you have Panasonic EVQWGD001 rotary encoders.
The case was designed in Fusion 360, and both the archive files and STLs can be found in the repo.
Specs
36-38 keys (5x3+3+encoder per half)
low-pro switches
