Form Uno

Gasket mounted 5x12 column staggered keyboard

Introduction

I designed this board with a few goals in mind:

Ergonomic

The layout is based on the corne/cornelius by foostan, with some adjustments:

  • Unsplit.
  • Number row.
  • Options for dedicated arrow keys.

Fully featured

It also comes with the neat features that you'd find in custom mechanical keyboards:

  • Gasket-mounted.
  • Hotswap PCB + daughterboard.
  • Clean and minimal design.

Easy to build

  • Powered by an RP2040 Tiny and all the other parts can be easily sourced.
  • No tiny SMD components required!

Thanks

  • JLCPCB for providing the keyboard plate, 3D printed case, and PCB for this project. If you're looking to build your own board, I highly recommend their services.
  • foostan for creating the corne/cornelius, which inspired this project in the first place.
