I’ve been working on a design for a split keyboard that is a hybrid between a Corne and a Sofle.
So fair the electrical and software aspects work, I still need to sort out the chassis.
Some features:
- Efficient backlight circuit (at 100% it uses 20mA)
- Custom MBK Choc caps from fkcaps.com (the glow is awesome)
- ~250mAh battery (still low profile as there’s a hole in the PCB for the battery)
- Dual EVQ encoders
- Fully wireless using Nice Nanos
- The layout has MacOS and Windows modes
- Choc spacing
Once I’ve got the chassis done and I’ve cleaned everything up a bit I’ll open source it.
Here’s a preview of the chassis design so far:
Looking great! What are those displays?
Nice!Views, they’re incredibly power efficient.
OLED?
Sharp memory display, it’s a bit like Epaper in terms of appearance. Most of the OLED panels I could find eat batteries.
