Featuring a 3D-printed case with hotswap sockets integrated into the base plate, flixo's unnamed monoblock split design is an 80-key handwired keyboard powered by an RP2040 Stamp controller.
It's a handwired and 3D-printed ergo-style keyboard. The design is derived from Keychron's Alice, modified to use columnar stagger. I wanted the ergo sections to be further apart from the standard Alice, but still on the same board (not split). I decided to fit a standard navigation cluster in the center to fill out the space. Whilst fully functional, I mostly use the nav functionality from a modifier layer – flixo.
Extras: Piezo speaker, in-cap indicator light on the navigation cluster's Scroll key.
