Sebastian Stumpf aka ADreamOfStorms shared the design files of his narfkb, a Corne-derivative with a lot of updates.

I've been using my corne for a long time now and I really love the columnar stagger, but it was missing some things. I've been looking for other 3x5+3 boards with similar stagger and a few more features but could't find any that would match my needs. So I taught myself KiCAD and FreeCAD and designed a board that would match what I wanted - ADreamOfStorms.

Features

  • 3x5+3 Corne style columnar stagger with thumbs more splayed outwards
  • MX switches for fingers, Choc switches for thumbs
  • Rotary encoders
  • Three Omron switches per side (for seldom accessed stuff)
  • Waveshare RP2040-Zero controllers
