Layout

Optimized for regular WASD setup similar to a normal keyboard, to avoid (or at least minimize) remapping keys for games.

No layer-tap and mod-taps to avoid conflicts (many games require mod presses or holding alpha keys).

1 additional layer to access missing half of keyboard.

Anyway it's easy to change keys on the fly with VIAL.

Case

Tested on JLCPCB resin printing, it may be a bit tight for FDM.

Bill of materials

Build guide

Please see my stront guide for detailed instructions on soldering diodes/LEDs/sockets/MCU.

MinY version (V2 - ProMicro-compatible, VIK support)

Caution

This is special version designed for minimal vertical spacing (19x16mm). Regular keycaps will not fit, you must print your own. I prepared several keycap sets to choose.

It uses Pro Micro format MCU so it could be wireless (not tested).

I did not make/test case for MX switches - you can modify it in Fusion.

Updated BOM:

Development

For proper KiCad setup install my zzkeeb library
