The pilot build of the Corne DC ("Double Chocolate") split keyboard is complete. The Corne DC variant makes the following changes to the original Corne Chocolate design:
• Hot-swap sockets for Kailh Chocolate v1 (PG1350) and v2 (PG1353) switches.
• Artistic FR4 (PCB material) case design.
• Per-key back-lighting with easier to solder SK6812 mini-e LEDs.
• Maintains Corne Chocolate layout and MCU position.
• Slightly larger PCBs for greater edge clearance with hot-swap sockets.
• Lead-free solder, ENIG surface finish, and RoHS components for reduced risk to human health and the environment.
• MX spacing.
• LEDs are relocated and spaced further apart to allow for partial automated assembly.
• Tested with original Pro-Micro compatible micro-controller board "Tetra" with mid-mount USB connector and bonus LED.
• Single-sided PCB
