Title: Need some help with symmetrical 60% keyboard project
Post by: keygureum on Tue, 26 October 2021, 10:39:17

Hello everyone! New member here.

I'm making a Symmetrical 60% Keyboard.
It is an open-source project, here is my idea:

(https://github.com/weensykim/LXKB/blob/main/img/lxkb-lined.png?raw=true)

I wrote a detailed explanation of this in the Readme on GitHub.

This project is still in its infancy.
Can someone help?

Or any advice would be appreciated!

You could use the quefrency for inspiration, it's a split 60/65: https://keeb.io/products/quefrency-60-65-split-staggered-keyboard-1

I'd be happy to help with case design and maybe a lil pcb whatnot. The layout looks interesting, sorta like a macbook in terms of the 14.5u?

Thx!
Yes, It's almost like a macbook. This is a lot of reference to the retro Apple keyboard.

Thank you! Apart from this project, I am going to buy this because I am interested in this keyboard.
