Eobard is a columnar 34-key split keyboard by viniciusbrit aka ComfyCore, inspired by the Ferris and running KMK on Pi Picos.

It is designed to be cheap to manufacture and simple to assemble. The single PCB is dual sided.

Specs

• 34 keys (5x3+2)
• MX, soldered
• reversible PCB
• Raspberry Pi Pico
• KMK

I have huge hands, I designed it so that I would use the innermost thumb key as the main thumb key and the outermost as the one I shift to for functions or less used keys – ComfyCore.
