The 36-key Sweek, shared by earvingad, was inspired by predecessors like the Ferris and Sweep. The K in the name comes from it using KMK.

After two handwired keyboards, I finally made a PCB of my handwired Sweek version. I really like Ferris/sweep design but wanted 36 keys and I did not like the swoop variant due to the inside placement of the thumb key/encoder, so I made my own – earvingad.

Features

  • 36 keys (5x3+3)
  • soldered MX, Choc V1/V2, Redragon LP support
  • RP2040 MCU
  • reversible PCB
  • EC11 encoder
  • OLED
  • KMK

Resources

In the repo you can find two versions of the PCB: one including encoders and 128x32 OLED with diodes, and a minimal diodeless version (without encoder and OLED).
