36-key split keyboard |
The 5plit was an experiment that took advantage of EasyEda's $2 PCB special, and it has become my daily driver. It was designed to be used on workspaces that are level with one's elbows, with relaxed wrists. The keyboard is a single pcb with bottom bumpers and exposed controllers. Function over form, except that the pinky finger is a bit high for this version.
The switch footprint is 17.5 x 18.5 mm (height x width) for 1u Kailh keycaps from novelkeys, rather than the standard 19.05mm (750 mil) spacing.
