Quentin aka Fmcraft introduced his Dilemma, an open-source, flippable split PCB with a trackpad and case in two versions: both with integrated controller or for development boards.
Hey everyone! I'm very happy to present the Dilemma - a 5x3+2 keyboard with a trackpad. As usual, it's 100% open source – Fmcraft.
Features
- Heavy pinky stagger
- MX and choc compatible
- Reversible PCB
- KB2040 / Elite-Pi (still in development) / Splinky / Nice!Nano compatible
- Tenting puck footprint
- 2 versions: dilemma (for DIY that requires an additional MCU) and dilemma_assembled with integrated MCU
According to the designer, the Dilemma is made for RP2040, so if you go with the DIY version, you should source your MCU board accordingly.
