After the Uninarf, Sebastian Stumpf aka ADreamOfStorms got back to true splits and published Narfkb2, a revision of the original Narfkb.

I expanded the existing design to use 42 keys, increased the columnar stagger, changed the choc footprints to mx, cleaned up the pin allocation and basically reworked the entire routing – ADreamOfStorms.

Specs

  • 42 keys (6x3+3 – extra pinky column)
  • hotswap MX (MX thumb keys – narfkb had low-pro thumb keys)
  • increased stagger
  • Waveshare RP2040-Zero controller
