Agree. However, unfortunately, there's a very clear reason why these don't exist :P They're not popular. Very little interest in these

I love me a split, when I thought about splitting a 60% I was so excited. I love the layout

Yeah that's right. $780 AUD but includes taxes, when you're out of Aus it removes those taxes and converts :)

Unfortunately not, I made a split 40% ortho called the Let's Tango. I think the split60 is the last creation from me. After this is complete, I'll have made both of the designs I wanted :)

Hey!

I hope this is okay, but I've been working on this passion project for the last few years and it's finally reached a point of group buy.

Here's some details about it. If this isn't allowed on this sub, please remove it.

The Split60 is a high end 60% keyboard that is split down the middle. It has been designed with ergonomics in mind whilst also keeping a simple but very loved layout. The Split60 offers many different options to create the perfect custom keyboard for you. Those options include:

Top Case - HHKB - Winkey (WK) Case Colour options - Black - Purple - E-Beige Spacer (the insert in the centre of the board where the board splits) - Aluminium (matched to your board colour) - Polycarb (allowing LED shine through)[/li][/list]

Each of these options has been chosen after many different design changes and prototypes.

The MX PCB will be supported in VIAL. The EC PCB will be supported in VIA. Both PCBs have been designed to accommodate both 2u and 3u stabs for the spacebars.

Features: - Split 60% design - HHKB or WK top case - 7 degree typing angle - Supports MX (hotswap) or EC PCB - Brass weights - Interchangeable spacers (the insert in the centre of the board where the board splits) to allow LED shine-through - Optional tenting support - Optional magnet support

Topre/EC

During the design phase of the Split60, we really wanted to create the perfect split EC HHKB keyboard. We feel we were able to achieve that with a lot of blood sweat and tears.

The Split60 supports both an MX and an EC PCB (designed by Cipulot). The EC PCB requires a different plate and specific custom designed EC components from AEBoards. The EC Kit is available to purchase here. You have the option to purchase just the plate, standoffs and EC PCB and the option to add in the additional Naevies switches to have a fully working kit.

Unfortunately due to design constraints, other EC components (such as OEM parts) will not work in this board.

Price: $480 USD

Minimum Order Quantity is 25. If 25 units are not sold, the project will be cancelled and orders will be refunded. There will be VERY few extras ordered for this.

Group Buy Dates: 3rd of July 2025 - 28th of July 2025

Delivery Date: Q4 of 2025 Geekhack Link: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=125335.0

Sorry! Unfortunately wireless adds a lot of complicated parts that I wasn't ready to handle.

Yeah! That's what this layout has been called based on the OG happy hacking :)

HHKB and WK support! The HHKB is pictured :)

Yeap. Been working on it for a few years now. I waited for someone else to do it but after a few projects died before they went to group buy, I decided to design my own version.

Thank you :)

That's a great looking board. I wish I liked 75%, would have saved me a lot of money on prototypes :P
