Orasnica
A wireless monoblock split keyboard by trkeyboards: Orasnica – inspired by the Grumpy.
Published March 4, 2025
Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.
Orasnica is a cute little unibody split which is wireless via nice!nano and supports two rotary encoders as well. Designed by Spinoses/Tvrd Rad Keyboards.
The keyboard you see here is inspired by the Grumpy model, particularly its format. Big thanks for the inspiration, and a special shout-out to our colleague @il for helping refine the ideas – TvrdRadKeyboards.
After using a Grumpy for a few months, the author realized what it could be improved incorporating gasket mounting, flex cuts, a few additional keys, encoders, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Specs
- 30-32 keys
- MX, hotswap
- PCB with flex cuts
- nice!nano v2 controller
- 3D-printed case with pen holder
Just like the trackball is still a work in progress, the keyboard files are not final either – the power switch hasn't been completed yet, which is why there's the hole in the bottom case for now.
