Lapka (Лапка) is a small 36-key wireless split by Nikita Shirokov aka braindefender, designer of various popular keycap profiles, e.g. the KLP Lamé.

The Lapka features a uniform splay layout with Choc spacing. The build is diodeless, using direct-pin on SuperMini nRF52840 (nice!nano compatible) controllers.

Wireless ergonomic split keyboard for those who have paws (: – braindefender.

Specs

  • 36 keys (5x3+3)
  • low-profile Choc switches, soldered
  • reversible PCB
  • SuperMini nRF52840 controllers
  • 3D printed case

Low-profile case: the switches almost touch the table. For now, silicone bumpers are stuck right onto the PCB.
