This is a video about building a 3D printed split keyboard that I've designed. Detailed build guide here: github.com/juhakaup/keyboards... Music by CreatorMix.com
I am amazed by your design and the relative ease of the build. I only just built my first corne (3x6) and I already know I'm going to try to build your board next. Thank you for sharing and for making such a great video.
Very nice project, I love the attention to detail. Please tell me you'll also do a guide for the low profile keyboard resting on the monitor stand. (hopefully it's also open source)
I love this! I really like the idea of a bracket for multiple controllers. I'm using a Corne that's a bit similar to this. I'm definitely going to build it because it looks more ergonomic. Thanks, man!
Fantastic work. I'm starting to design my own keyboard case in Fusion, so this is a great head-start. Thanks for uploading the Fusion files; I look forward to opening them and seeing how you made such an elegant case design.
Thanks. I'm planning to do a video about how the model is constructed. Just haven't had time to put it together yet. My background is in polygonal modeling, so my cad stuff might be a bit unconventional.
Im so in love with your design, when i get a 3d printer this will be the first keyboard ill print. One question, what keyboard is that one in the background on 0:16? Thanks
yesss! been following this since your original post. super glad that you made a 3x6! now i can use my corne muscle memory haha. is there enough space for the brackets to support a raspberry pi pico controller (the longer one)?
Hi, sorry I must have missed your comment before, but the max length for a controller is around 38mm. I think the pico is like 51mm, so it's not going to fit.
as someone who built a dactyl manuform, this is incredibly clean! I did not think you could screw in those mini key pcbs. how is that working? I saw the stl, but it just looks like a thin hole. I am guessing it is like you are tapping the plastic?
С такими стойками можно обычную гайку запихнуть. (Хотя со стороны мизинца стойки тоньше) Вырезаем шестигранник, запихивает гайку. Распечатываем шестигранник и закрываем гайку. Где-то на просторах хранилищ моделей есть деталька для замены промышленных сокетов для свитчей. Но оно конечно же потолще.
where did you get 9009 keycaps on 14:09? I never seen 9009 with these kind of mod before. Crazy cool board btw, definitely gotta be my future project :) Update: Found it. In case someone also curious like me, it's MiTo XDA Canvas with micons kit + accent
It’s not difficult, it’s just a lot of work. Couple of work days worth of designing and a few days of printing to make sure everything works, and that I’m happy with the result. I might do it but probably not anytime soon.
Supermini is pin compatible with promicro so you can use the wiring diagram on the github page, then you can use a wireless firmware for corne. Wireless version doesn't need the trrs-socket, instead of that it has a place for a switch that is for disconnecting the battery. There is quite a lot of information online about building wireless keyboards.
There is no trrs socket in the wireless version. The power switch is soldered inline with the other lead from the battery to physically disconnect it from the controller. Check issue #15 from github to see a photo of the insides.
@@scytile Looking forward to check out the choc version! Also the mini-PCBs per switch was such a great idea, it's the first time I've seen such a clever solution
I am in the process of building a dactyl and I keep coming back to this video. Thank you for your clear and concise directions!
The brackets for the controller is just brilliant!
Awesome man, love the narrative! relaxing to watch on Sunday morning with fresh coffee!
Absolutely beautiful design and print. Thanks for sharing the source!
this is an amazing project, your handwiring/wire management and soldering skills are fantastic!!

A very elegant design, thanks very much for sharing it with us. I especially like the modular controller socket.
this looks so pleasant to use and aesthetically appealing! love the clean case design.
This is awesome! Will definitely build this once I get a 3D printer. Great storytelling and editing!
Very nice project, I love the attention to detail.
Please tell me you'll also do a guide for the low profile keyboard resting on the monitor stand. (hopefully it's also open source)
It’s a prototype. I still have to design a bit more substantial case for it before I’ll start to think about releasing it.

Lovely design, and a very helpful video. thanks!

Can't wait for the choc version
Really nice.. even the brackets you thought of!
amazing, looks like a fun project!
This is awesome 😎 Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful keyboard. I just built my first ergo keyboard but would love to build a dactyl. Your version will be the one.
Beautiful.
Great video & great job !
This keyboard is so incredibly well made. Absolutely brilliant work, thanks for sharing and for making such a comprehensive video on building it.
Very good job.
Thank you for good project
Amazing Build, I adapted my Lotus58 done to a Corne42 formfactor, so moving to your ergonomic design could be a step to try with little effort.
Bro, awesome!
Thats really super
Beautiful keeb. Which MCU used for wireless build?
Supermini
Im so in love with your design, when i get a 3d printer this will be the first keyboard ill print.
One question, what keyboard is that one in the background on 0:16? Thanks
It's a low profile prototype
Are you planning to release the designs for the low profile prototype? It looks like a really nice version
cool

no it does not fit. i just tried :)
i'm right now building this keyboard and tried the longer one and its it long to be straight in the case
love it !!! I wonder if we can use nice nano with it
Unfortunately I don’t have any nice nanos to try, but I think it’s about the same size as the controller I used in the wireless version.
@@scytile what controller was it again ? For the wireless version ?
@@Kaiyes_ It's a nice nano clone called supermini. I have linked one in the build guide.
I just started printing :D Btw what palm rests are you using?
They are Hama mini wrist rests
as someone who built a dactyl manuform, this is incredibly clean! I did not think you could screw in those mini key pcbs. how is that working? I saw the stl, but it just looks like a thin hole. I am guessing it is like you are tapping the plastic?
The screw deforms the plastic and creates threads for itself. It’s quite sturdy, haven’t had any issues with the few boards that I’ve build.
Do you have the maxtrix for wireless uring promini ?

beautiful keyboard! What gauge of the solid wire are you using?
Something like 25awg. It's from an old transformer.
where did you get 9009 keycaps on 14:09? I never seen 9009 with these kind of mod before.
Crazy cool board btw, definitely gotta be my future project :)

Hey man i love your design, how difficult would it be to make a 6 x 4 version? I would love to have the number row.
It’s not difficult, it’s just a lot of work. Couple of work days worth of designing and a few days of printing to make sure everything works, and that I’m happy with the result. I might do it but probably not anytime soon.
@@scytile Got it, that makes sense. Im probably going to print the 4x6 in the near feature anyway so thanks alot for making such a pretty keyboard
I need a build guide for the wireless too plus flash firmware for the controller
Supermini is pin compatible with promicro so you can use the wiring diagram on the github page, then you can use a wireless firmware for corne. Wireless version doesn't need the trrs-socket, instead of that it has a place for a switch that is for disconnecting the battery. There is quite a lot of information online about building wireless keyboards.
@@scytile so about the slide power switch, i solder in the pin of the power switch or the trrs-socket
There is no trrs socket in the wireless version. The power switch is soldered inline with the other lead from the battery to physically disconnect it from the controller. Check issue #15 from github to see a photo of the insides.
@@scytile thanks
Whats is that low-profile keyboard under your monitor? Also look like something I want to try...
It’s a choc proto to test a lower profile layout.
@peanutman314 did you figure out what that keyboard is? I’m also interested in it
@@PrabhuMarappan7 It's just a proto, not published. I'm planning to work on it next.
@@scytile Looking forward to check out the choc version! Also the mini-PCBs per switch was such a great idea, it's the first time I've seen such a clever solution
I currently plan to iterate over your design and convert it to chock also. Can I somehow help you in that process?
if you don't have enough keys on your board it turns vim into emacs, otherwise I'd love a build like this
How many keys do you need?
Happily been running vim on 34 keys for a while now, works like a charm!
What material is the case printed with?
PLA
