KBD.news Published May 13, 2023
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
