Ken Choi (aka Systemising_Brain/kkckrnz) shared his Treble, a classy monoblock split keyboard design.
The overall design aesthetic is borrowed from Horizon keyboard. The sandwich design using top/bottom plate PCB concept was great. It makes the keyboard very low profile and look more finished compared to bare PCB keyboard – Systemising_Brain.
The board was designed with ergogen after cardboard prototyping. The author followed FlatFootFox's ergogen tutorial. Custom ergogen footprints were used to generate both the cover plate and bottom plate.
Specs
- 42 keys (3x6+3)
- low-pro Choc, sodlered
- Pro Micro footprint
- wireless (optional)
- bottom plate with cutouts a la Horizon
