[IC] Polilla, an ergonomic 60-key board with USB-C

[elagil]

Hello!

I am the designer of the 'Polilla' (engl. moth), which is an ergonomic keyboard with 60 keys. My goal was to build a simple, yet attractive and affordable ergonomic keyboard. I decided to use an included angle of 45 degrees between the halves of the board, which feels like a good amount of spread to my hands.

The board uses USB-C, an integrated STM32F042 microcontroller, and was just recently merged into QMK! VIA support is also available and official.

The price for a complete kit of this board (without switches) is going to be below 100 €.

I also have three spare prototypes (the exact ones that you see in the pictures), which I am willing to sell. They come with Kailh Pro Purple, Kailh Box Red, or Kailh Box white switches, but with no keycaps. Only add your own caps and a USB-C cable!

Love that the inner column isn't staggered. I'm in.

Same. Innermost columns are perfect.

Really cool

Yes, please. Will this have QMK/VIA support?

This is intentional. In my past designs, I always had the inner- and outermost columns staggered. However, I noticed that my fingers didn't actually like this kind of movement.

Yes! QMK support is already official: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/polilla
VIA support is just a merge away: https://github.com/the-via/keyboards/pull/372

This is how it looks in VIA (and how I use it):

Fantastic! Will strongly consider picking one of these up.

Right?! It’s the inner one that bothers me the most. Makes a lot of split ortho boards (iris, Lilly, Atreus) uncomfortable.

As a fan of ergo keyboard, I would love to get this! Already filled in your IC form as well
