The open-source Dual Blades split keyboard, designed and shared by Ognjen Bjeletic (aka pakleni), uses Matias clicky Alps switches and features a rotary encoder per side, along four thumb keys.

It uses matias clicky alps switches, but the pcb/plate support both MX and Alps. The plates were made by laser cutting INOX (stainless steel) – __pakleni__.

The layout is based on that of the handwired Void Ergo S.

Specs

  • 44 keys (6x3+4)
  • Matias Alp or MX switches, soldered
  • Pro Micro footprint (nice!nano)
  • nice!view display
  • rotary encoders
