Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.
Dmitry Belousov aka ProgressiveNoise shared a split keyboard PCB and case, inspired by the Cantor.
This keyboard is compact, reliable, and relatively easy to build. It is diodeless, the protection circuit is optional. Only the TH USB-C connector could be an annoyance for an inexperienced builder, but that’s it. Everything else should be smooth – Dmitry.
Specs
- 42 keys (3x6+3)
- MX, hotswap
- diodeless
- USB-C for interconnection
- Pico footprint (RP2040)
- KMK
- case
