Mike Typeson is a 30-key true split keyboard shared by Stephan Møller aka rollercole.
[my new prototype keyboard] is not pretty, but he gets the job done. I have previously designed an all flat board and a keywell board, but now I wanted to try making a flat finger area but with a tented thumb – Stephan.
The board, held together by the 3D-printed tented base, is wired as a unibody split even though the electronics are in three pieces.
Specifications
- 30 keys
- MX switches, hotswap
- Seeed XIAO RP2040 controller
