Hi all.
Recently i have started getting into building keyboards, and while there are many great options that you can build that are already out there, I have been wanting more.
I started to, in my head, think of what I would be looking for in a "dream" board, giving me the features i want without compromise.
I came up with a list of features that i was hoping to get from a board:
- A Ortho layout, meaning grid layout, not staggered
- A numpad
- It must use standard caps
- Semi-Compact, im mostly a 60% or B.mini type guy
Currently, this isn't available. So I took to the layout editor and put my mind to work and this is what i came up with:
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/67ba11284fd9e5c979eaI have made adjustments based on feedback I had gotten on IRC. (you should totally join #geekhack, if you dont already).
It has a slant to it, which i like, and the case would also be cut on a slant to match.
Its obviously a work in progress, and looks like right now I will end up having to handwire it, unless someone who knows who to design PCBs can help me out.
I would also love to know what people think!
Bonus 40%+arrows & Numpad:
