Description
The firmware is now settled down so @orihikarna called his first self-designed keyboard to be finished.
The keyboard layout looks like a hermit crab, so I named it Hermit – @orihikarna.
No documentation or build log, only a thread of tweets. You can find the source files in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/orihikarna/Hermit
Features:
- split with 60 keys
- Thumb keys placed a bit further (pressed with the first joint)
- Choc V2 browns (17.4x16.8mm)
- ARM
- I2C I/O expander (with a Type-C cable)
Details:
- Stacked FR4 design. 8 mm thick with 6 layers on each side.
- cool PCB pattern
- cuteness increased by 3D printed USB connector fasteners
- slight tenting via different feet.
Btw the layout, which may be weird at first, is logically derived from ortholinear:
自キ活再開中。次に作りたいレイアウトをパラメータ化してみた。中指キーは水平。薬指キーは人差し指キーと平行で、中指キーに接する、とすると、必ず段差ができる。ortholinearからのモーフィングになるかと思っていたらならなかった?なるほどな～ pic.twitter.com/pxNXSTQ4Ly
