Hallo and guten Tag,
my name is Max and I'm a long time reader/first time poster in this forum.
I did some keyboard related projects in the past (macro keypad, Alsps64, artisan keycaps) but never came around to film/document something. Not so this time
This is my Arke project and it's an hand wired ortholinear ergonomic split keyboard. It is based on the Iris layout
Iris layout by Lewis Ridden (/u/GAMING_FACE) hence the name Arke
I designed all the parts using Fusion360 and since i run a tiny Youtube channel (Make'n'Modify) I made some videos about the process.
There will be 3 to 4 parts to this series and I plan to post a video every week.
At the moment i have the project hostet on thingiverse:
