Jason Hazel aka quirk shared the files of his Kurp, a 36-key ortho board in the style of monoblock splits, inspired by the Humla and ChocV:

Kurp started life as a commission that fell through. Instead of ditching it, I finished it up and am releasing the source – quirk.

Kurp sports 36 Choc-spaced switches arranged in a unibody split ortholinear layout with OLED/nice!view and battery support. Using a nice!nano and nice!view should make it a nice, compact, portable keyboard.

Specs

• 36 keys, ortholinear grid
• low-pro Choc spacing
• Pro Micro footprint
