Soufflé v2 is a "6×4+1+4+1" keys column-staggered split keyboard by Jesus Climent aka jcliment.

The open-source PCB supports encoders, is based on the Sofle, "re-inspired" by the Lily58, and also takes a bit of layout ideas from the Kyria.

Soufflé uses a similar layout than the Sofle, with a full 6x5 matrix, and the encoders connected to the same pins – thus, it's fully compatible with the Sofle firmware.

The main difference is the position of the outermost thumb key, which has been moved to the bottom of the pinky column, to be used with the palm.

Features

  • Palm key at the bottom of the outer pinky column.
  • Choice between rotary encoder or key switch for the inner keys.
  • Removed i2c communication between halves.
  • Redone layout with simplified, curved tracks.
  • Based on the Soufflé V1 release, the two pinky columns have been lowered ~.5cm.
  • Thumb cluster repositioned to allow for equal reach of the keys.
