Sebastian Stumpf aka ADreamOfStorms shared Swepp, a 34-key split keyboard, Sweep derivative, with some splay.
So recently I got my hands on a Sweep MX and managed to cram my keymap into it and I really loved the minimal style. The only thing that I still really needed from this keyboard was splay – Sebastian.
Specs
- 34 keys (5x3+2), splayed
- hotswap
- diodeless
- USART Full-duplex for serial communication
- Three different case options
The swepp name comes from Sweep + the author's nickname Sepp.
Cases
There are three case options available: A simple FR4 stack, a simple tray case, and the final one is a massive gasket mounted case that hides the switches:
I've tried them all and while I really liked the feel of the gasket mount case it was a bit too chunky. So in the end I stuck with the FR4 stack which feels really crisp and doesn't take up much space – Sepp.
