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.
