Thunderguts13 aka SylivanKenobi published a 5x12 ortho keyboard with through-hole components: T-Rex.

I wanted a 5x12 ortho keyboard but didn't have the cash to buy two Preonics. I need one for at home and one at work. So, I designed one by myself which would be cheap to build, inspired by the Contra – Thunderguts13.

The keyboard uses only through-hole components and a microcontroller board for easy assembly.

Specs

  • 5x12 ortholinear layout
  • Pro Micro footprint
  • through-hole components
