Inspired by Foostan's Cornelius LP, Tien Pham designed a low-profile monoblock split keyboard. The Form Neo seems to be the low-pro little brother of the author's Form Uno.
I designed and built a low profile split keyboard – pham2.
It doesn't look like the typical low-profile board with floating keycaps, but it's almost as low as it could be. Front height is 11 mm.
Specs
- 60 keys
- low-profile Choc, hotswap
- gasket mounting
- options for dedicated arrow keys
- RP2040 Tiny controller
- USB daughterboard
Just like with the Form Uno, the Neo offers various case (with or without blockers) and bottom row options: without the blocker, the innermost thumb key can be moved to the right.
