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).
