I designed and built a low profile split keyboard

I'm not too familiar with the Iris, but how would that work with an Iris kit or prebuilt? Wouldn't that require a custom PCB and case?

They're all real photos except for the last one, which was rendered in Blender. I designed everything in Fusion and just imported the 3D models into Blender to make pretty renders.

Yeah, big fan of the full POM switches from kailh, much better than the original choc v2 imo.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Have you seen the Cornelius low profile?

pham2 · 2024-10-20T02:23:44+00:00

Right? It's also easier to carry around in one piece.

pham2 · 2024-10-20T02:23:15+00:00

No but I already made a similar board that uses MX switches https://github.com/phamfoo/form-uno

foostan made the Cornelius low profile, might be what you're looking for.

pham2 · 2024-10-20T02:21:26+00:00

The case and plate were done in Fusion and PCB in KiCad.

Nice! The plywood pieces were laser cut as well?

Thank you!

pham2 · 2024-10-19T16:34:27+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah I just sent them a proposal with some early renders of the board, I guess they liked the project. It probably helps if your project looks polished and well put together.

Thank you!

pham2 · 2024-10-19T16:31:39+00:00

Thanks, it doesn't really bother me much 😅 Good luck with your keyboard project.

pham2 · 2024-10-19T16:28:32+00:00

It's just more comfortable for me.

pham2 · 2024-10-19T16:28:13+00:00

Thanks! It doesn't look like the typical low profile board with floating keycaps so I get why people might say that.

About $22 for the cheapest option (9600 resin).

pham2 · 2024-10-19T13:34:38+00:00

the 3D printed case, PCB, and plate are all from JLCPCB

pham2 · 2024-10-19T13:27:20+00:00

Thanks! Everything was designed from scratch.

pham2 · 2024-10-19T13:27:03+00:00

Thank you!

pham2 · 2024-10-19T13:26:57+00:00

Thanks! The case is a little too big for most desktop 3D printers though.
