The 3w6 is a low profile, split ortholinear keyboard with 36 keys.
I needed a keyboard for work and wasn't really satisfied with the available alternatives (namely Corne, Kyria and Ferris), mostly because they are either rather large and/or don't have the spacing I would like.
The 3w6 is designed to be a simple, realiable, cheap and small keyboard to be taken everywhere.
There are currently two revisions:
- Rev1:
- onboard microcontroller (ATMega32U4)
- USB-C connector Board <-> PC
- USB-C connectors between both split halfs
- choc spacing (18x17mm)
- aggressive pinky stagger
- support for Choc V1 switches
- Rev2:
- everything Rev1 did
- additional middle plate (2mm)
- support for Pimoroni Trackball instead of outer thumb switch on right half, needs midplate
- mounting holes for Tenting Puck, only usable without mid or switchplate
- Keyboard Maintainer: weteor
- Hardware Supported:
- 3w6 rev1
- 3w6 rev2 (with Pimoroni support)
- Hardware Availability:
- make one yourself: Design and Productionfiles
- maintainer is selling kits when available
To reach the bootloader, connect the board to the PC and push the reset button on left half.
Make examples for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make 3w6/rev1:default
