5x6 split keyboard
Checklist
- Setup rev2 project and tidy up usage of footprints and symbols.
- Fix wiring issue between mcu 1 and 2 (VSYS -> VBUS).
- Setup new layout with height differences per finger and tighter spacing (20.5mm -> 18.5mm).
- Create board edge with radius.
- Swap footprint of front mcu + trrs jack to back and the other way around.
- Find good placement for mcu and trrs that won't require too much height addition.
- Figure out if aisler can manufacture layout.
- Draw traces.
- Re-design footprints so that silkscreen fits on the board and is also on the backside for the reversable ones.
- Make a decision on how the pcb will be mounted.
What
I have been using the planck keyboard for 10 years and i find that i usually have to do awkward finger gymnastics to do shortcutr including numbers. This is an attempt at making a keyboard that is easier to use in those situations.
I choose to not have a thumb cluster since i don't find that very ergonomic to me.
