Prototype Complete - Swirl Split Keyboard
It’s not done yet, but I figured I’d show off a little bit since I have been using this for a few weeks now. This is the “swirl”. It’s heavily inspired by the helix with some notable changes: - mbk Choc Spacing (Dimensions are about 12.5cm x 8.5cm on either half) - Reversible roller encoders on the top inner switch https://github.com/vmorganp/swirl [https://github.com/vmorganp/swirl]
[PCB Review Request] "Swirl" a choc-spaced helix-like board with reversible thumb encoders instead of a top inner button
Hey guys, not sure if we do PCB reviews in this group, but I figured I’d give it a shot since I know it was a thing that happened over in the bad website. It’s essentially a 5x6+1+encoder board. Images below and open source hardware repo is linked. kicad render for the juicy thumbnail [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/df8d68fc-e6c7-4caf-a95b-995f567262a9.png] Front [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6a92596f-212e-439e-8083-25cad0c6df2d.png] Back [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5c721f4c-f50c-495f-acba-0caf57fa838a.png] This is baby’s first PCB design, so feel free to tear me a new one in the comments so I can make good boards.
