Inspired by predecessors and projects like the Corne, KeySeeBee, Crkbd choc magnetic case and Jian, Enki42 is a 42-key low-profile split with magnetic case (7x2 mm magnets).

Features:

  • 42 keys (Kailh Choc v1)
  • Per switch RGB
  • Serial / i2c
  • Choc spacing
  • minimum thickness (without case 13 mm, with case 1.1 mm more)
  • RGB LED footprints and switches have minimal clearance (stick well without soldering)

Enki is the Sumerian god of water. These symbols are painted on the back of the board, the other half says "42" in Sumerian – aroum2.
