Closis

A handwired Pteron44 derivative by ghostfaceschiller with a Pimoroni Trackball.

Published December 20, 2021

Closis is a low-profile unibody-split ergonomic keyboard with Choc spacing, based heavily on the Pteron44. It features a Pimoroni Trackball.

The major changes from the Pteron are:

  • tightest possible Choc spacing
  • increased slant angle
  • modified thumb cluster
  • increased column stagger, especially on the pinky columns
  • Pimoroni Trackball added

Github repo: https://github.com/dschil138/closis-keyboard

It is fully functional however, with the exception of the Pimoroni Trackball which currently works but is kind of unreliable – ghostfaceschiller.
