Unkeyboard is a set of python scripts, using the CadQuery parametric CAD library, for generating stacked acrylic cases for Atreus-style keyboards.

Configurable stagger, row/columns, angle, and other parameters.

Github repo: https://github.com/possibilities/unkeyboard

The case is derived from the 62 key case but generating similar cases for the 42 key and 44 key variations is also supported.

By default, a Chicago bolt is used, a wider bezel is added around the keys, and sharp corners replace the curved corners of the original.

Generated cases can be hand wired or used with available PCBs.
