[IC] EP-TKL with first rendor and layout options and more split keys

[e11i0t23]

Hi all

I have started designing a new TKL board with split space bar compatibility see image below and want to check your interest in this before i order the prototype PCBs please show your interest in the form --->>> https://goo.gl/forms/oZyIEbA2LK0sv4wh2

This boards features:

• TKL layout
• ANSI and ISO comparability
• Compatibility for split space bar sor single 6.25u, 7u or 10u space bar
• Alps and MX switch compatibility
• Compatibility for split backspace key
• Compatibility for split right shift

   

please see the first render of the PCB below

thanks

No Alps/Matias support?

Nice, looking for the case design

For the sake of compatibility I might suggest a 2.75/1.25/2.25 or 2.25/1.25/2.75 as seen on boards like the M65-A and DZ60. Adding a split right shift option could also help (splitting the shift would allow the unused 2.75u key to be used as one of the spacebars, and many keysets already offer a second 2.25u shift for clueboard/fc660 compatibility).

please make sure it is TX87 compatible
