Title: [IC] Scallop 40% - Bluetooth, Gasket Mount, Hotswap, Base Kit
Post by: rainkeebs on Thu, 08 December 2022, 02:09:55
Hewwo!~ :-*
This is an interest check for my design I call Scallop. It's a 40% keyboard with a 14u wide, base kit compatible layout. I wanted something that was really good, and could fit any keyset, so I made it.
Scallop features a hotswap PCB with a holyiot18010 module enabling Bluetooth connectivity with ZMK firmware. It utilizes a 420mAh battery to achieve ~2 month battery life. Scallop has a standard and a WKL top.

Here's the layout:

Technical Numbers n Stuff:
5.5 degree angle
6063 aluminum
PC/Alu full plate
4 gasket tabs
UDB
It has curvy sides isn't that cool?

I've yet to get quotes, but I imagine a full kit going for <=$250
Curious if any interest exists for something like this. I'd like to do a small ~20 unit buy.
TYSM ILY!~

Hi Rain, any chance of a non-bluetooth version? I would prefer VIA or VIAL over ZMK.

Go Bluetooth for Scallop.

My only desire is for a split enter, but I’ll go full enter for Scallop.

raiiiiiiin - y no ISO support this time?

I like this board—gargantuan sea creature included—the layout is sorta strange, but I feel like splitting that L.Shift & throwing an ISO Enter on Home/Bottom row would look phat, while still preserving that neat-o backspace config. Also, stepped Caps & wireless-support is good.

Non bluetooth version is not going to happen. The bluetooth is great tho :) You forget how nice it is to have a wireless keyboard when you get into customs, now you can have the best of both worlds.

There's no ISO support because A) I do not want to redesign the pcb and B) The hotswap sockets would get very messy.

Looks interesting. Not enough people are doing Bluetooth. I'd be keen on a split enter and left shift if they were possible.

It utilizes a 420mAh battery to achieve ~2 month battery life. Scallop has a standard and a WKL top.

Has the space for the Battery some wiggle room? I'd like to have a slightly larger battery.


What are your plans for the colors?

Did you already run the PCBs? Any chance you could update the footprints to also support Alps?

There is no wiggle room for the battery. Probably just black and silver for the colors
