Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

The Chew is a crunched 34-key Choc-spaced keyboard designed by Florent Linguenheld, a mix of the Ferris/Sweep and Wubbo keyboards with some splay.

It comes either in true split or unibody form, but both versions feature cute and distinctive animals chewing on various stuff – drawn by the creators wife.

A 40% with some splay :) in split (of course) and monobloc flavours. Designed with a RP2040-Zéro and for Choc V1 – Florent.

If the bite mark on the PCB wasn't enough, the nice graphic and PCB art give the keyboard a unique character and real personality.

Other than the graphic, the author went totally berserk when it was time to design the traces.

Specs

  • 34 keys
  • Choc, hotswap or soldered
  • RP2040-Zero controller
  • the split one is diodeless
  • fancy traces

Florent was kind enough to send me a bunch of PCBs, so I can attest that they look even more awesome in person than in the photos.
