Custom, split, ergonomic mechanical keyboard

tacocat keyboard

:construction: this repo is currently on hold; once I started writing the firmware, I realized the choice of microcontroller was not a good one. For a keyboard, it's super useful to have a USB to serial chip that acts like a HID, that's why the Teensy or the ATmega32U4 are popular options. That being said, I started developing the firmware in such a way that required a python script to be running on the host to listen to the keystrokes being sent. :sweat: Furthermore, I'm not convinced that the physical layout is that great. Anywho, I'm leaving this here for reference. :construction:



Another split ergonomic keyboard with features:

  • two symmetric keyboard halves staggered in opposite directions
  • wireless or powered operation
  • wifi & bluetooth connected
  • can be used as two halves with a TRRS audio cable or as single joined keyboard (no cable needed)
  • audio passthrough
