Weaver is an ergonomic, split, 44-Key, wired, columnar-staggered keyboard. It features a thumb cluster with a steep angle and is build declaratively via ergogen (routed manually, though).
It uses a single Waveshare RP2040 MCU and connects the halves via an RJ45-Cable (Ethernet). It uses Gateron KS-33 switches (MX-Keycaps) and supports a EC11 rotary encoder.
I made it, as I love ks-33 cowberry switches and think it is really comfortable ever so slightly stretching your thumb to reach the innermost thumb key. Tell me what you think!
- Switches: Gateron KS-33 with hotswap support
- Autogenerated with Ergogen (4.1)
- Reversible PCB
- Wired only (RJ45)
- EC11 rotary encoder
- 2x PCBs (1.6mm thickness) - as long as we don't have a case.
- 44x Gateron KS-33 switches
- 1x Waveshare RP2040 MCU
- 44x 1N4148W SOD123 Diodes
- 2x THT RJ45 Sockets
- 8x Bumpons
- 1x EC11 rotary encoder. You should use a THT version with a short stem.
- 1x EC11 Knob. At max a 20mm knob (smaller knobs are more comfortable here, as it is pretty tight and your thumb may touch the encoder accidentally).
- 40x 1U Keycaps, 2x 1,25U Keycaps, 2x 1,5U Keycaps (MX-Compatible) - Used here are Nuphy Coast Twilight nSA keycaps.
- 1x RJ45 (Ethernet) Cable.
- 1x USB-C Cable to connect to your computer.
It uses a RMK-based firmware that provides vial support. You can find it here
(We need the newly added support for a bidirectional "japanese" matrix).
This project wouldn't be possible without inspiration of others:
