Title: Hi everyone, I wanna make a keyboard
Post by: dubnubdubub on Thu, 21 May 2026, 16:52:02
Hi everyone!  :)


I'd like to make a TMR ortho split keyboard, something with a layout similar to the iris rev8 I'm currently using. The only other board I know of which has these features is the Sunder C60 HE, but the guy behind it has stated multiple times he doesn't plan on doing another run...........

I've done my fair share of schematic/PCB design & CAD, but I've never made the rest of the keyboard before. I'd love to learn more about what would be an appropriate mounting style for magnetic switches (where the PCB really shouldn't move relative to the switch) and also the world of acoustics, since my iris is an open air FR4 sandwich with silent boba u4 switches

Undecided on if it would be worth making my keyboard wireless.
