Cantor Pro 40% Diodeless Low-profile Hotswap Split Keyboard Kit

Would you like to build a small affordable low-profile keyboard, but don’t enjoy soldering diodes? Well, this might just be the kit for you!

Based on the design by Diego Palacios with help of contributors (GitHub repository). Modified by 42. Keebs to use hotswap sockets and include switch plates.

42. Keebs is sponsoring Diego on Github with a monthly donation of $25.

• 42-key layout similar to Corne, but with more pronounced stagger
• Uses Kailh Choc V1 low-profile switches
• Uses Kailh Choc hotswap sockets
• Includes FR4 switch plates
• Based on the powerful but affordable Black Pill microcontroller module
• No diodes! Black Pill has so much I/O that there’s no need for a matrix (which means no need for diodes)

• 2x 2 mm clear acrylic bottom plates
• 42x Kailh Choc V1 hotswap sockets
