Pteron36 Split Ergo 30% Keyboard Kit
Designed by Harshit Goel – GitHub repository.
This is the latest version 1.4 which doesn’t support Choc switches.
Build your very own custom split 30% keyboard from scratch!
- Split 10×3 + 4/6/8 (34-38 key) ergo layout
- 3 different possible thumb layouts with 2-4 keys on each side thanks to break-off tabs
- PCB supports Cherry MX-compatible and Alps switches
- Supports one EC11 rotary encoder in each half
- Supports optional OLED screens
- Easy to build – based on Pro Micro controllers (uses SMD diodes though)
- Tinned lead-free finish, black solder mask
⚠️💀 Warning: Never plug/unplug the TRRS cable while the keyboard is powered! It could damage the data pin of the controller. 💀⚠️
