Split Keyboard (1)
Title Split-Keyboard
Project Link Link
Author Sadrita Neogi
Platform Forge
Tire 2

Overview

This split keyboard is basically fixes everything annoying about standard typing. We took the logic of an ortholinear grid (where everything is predictable) and mashed it together with a column stagger that actually matches how long your fingers are. For me this type of form factor keyboard is good for long hours of typing

Assembly Instructions :-

  1. First we need to get the PCB and then startrd soldering the Schottky Diodes to all the pads of the PCB .

  2. After that we need to add the SeeedStudio XIAO RA4M1 to the designated spot on the PCb .

  3. After that we will need to connect the SeeedStudio XIAO RA4M1 to the PC and upload the code given in the FIRMWARE and use Arduino IDE to upload the code .

  4. Then will will solder the battery to the designated spot on the PCb .

  5. After that we will take our 3d Printed PCB Case and and screw the pcb to the case .

  6. Then we will add the 3d Printed top Plate to the Case and fix it.

  7. After that we will put the 5pin Switches in the PCb gently , to all the Places.

  8. And then we will add the Key Caps to the Switches.

  9. The last step connect the Keyboard to the PC and start using it...
