What’s included:
- Printed circuit board, base and switch plate
- Diodes (74) – already soldered onto the board
- Capacitors (2) – already soldered onto the board
- IC sockets (2) – already soldered onto the board
- ICs (SN74HC138N) (2) – already attached onto the board
- Standoffs and screws (to build the case)
- Rubber bumpers for the base
- A RP2040 Pro Micro flashed with Vial firmware – already soldered onto the board
- OLED screen – already soldered onto the board
What’s not included (and you’ll need you source yourself):
- MX compatible switches (3 pin or 5 pin, up to 72 of them depending on the layout)
- Keycaps
- PCB mount stabilisers (for bigger keys like Space and Shift, the amount you need depends on the layout you go for, a regular space bar requires 6.25u stabs, a 7u requires 7u stabs and a split bar requires 2 x 2u stabs)
- 2 Rotary Encoders (we sell these here)(and rotary encoder knobs)
- RGB light strip (optional, but possible to add a WS2812b light strip under the PCB for extra glow)
What tools and equipment will you need to build this keyboard:
- A soldering iron
- Solder
- Flux (optional but recommended)
- Flush cutter pliers
- A small amount of electrical tape
Supported layouts:
Supported layouts include:
- Regular caps lock or stepped caps lock
- ANSI (with 2.25u left shift, 2.25u enter and 1.5u pipe) or ISO (with split left shift (1.25u + 1u) and ISO enter key)
- Regular 2.25u left shift or split left shift (1.25u + 1u)
- Regular 2u Backspace or split backspace (1u + 1u)
- Bottom row options:
- 1.25u, 1.25u, 1.25u, 6.25u space, 1.25u, 1.25u
- 1.25u, 1.25u, 1.25u, Split space (2.25u + 1.25u + 2.75u)
- 1.5u, 1u, 1.5u, 7u space, 1.5u
- Two rotary encoders or optionally 2 switches in their place
