An ultra-low profile unibody split keyboard by Travis Mick, inspired by Le Chiffre: Le Oeuf.
Published November 29, 2024
Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.
Travis Mick aka le1ca of eggworks shared his Le Oeuf, an ultra-low monoblock split with Kailh PG1425 "X" switches.
I bought these X switches for a different project that ultimately didn't work out as originally planned, and came up with this as a way to use up what I had on hand. It came out way better than expected and I've actually been using this board daily since I built it – Travis.
Specs
- 36 keys (5x3+3)
- Kailh PG1425 switches + caps
- Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040
- 74HC595D shift register, SOP-16
There's also a PG1316S version with an aluminum case in the works.
