a 36-key split ergonomic keyboard
- Five columns, three rows, three thumb keys
- Column stagger and splay on the pinky and ring columns
- Powered by nice!nano / pro micro microcontroller
- Designed for wireless use + battery
- Low profile v1 Choc switches + hotswap sockets
- Reversible PCB
- Uses some components (JST plug, power switch, reset) from the Typeractive Corne design
- Layout designed with Ergogen (see config.yaml)
- PCB designed with KiCad (v 9)
- Simple 3D-printable case
Note
Despite the footprint for it, there is no working display on the current version (1.1). The display header pins are not connected correctly. See issue #7. You could probably hand-wire the holes to the microcontroller pins to fix though...
TEMPEST was designed to be used with ZMK. You can find the ZMK-config repository and a keymap here.
Details on the build and case can be found here.
TEMPEST is inspired by and takes influence from:
- Temper by raeedcho
- Bad Temper by essFitt
- TOTEM by GEIST
- FORAGER by carrefinho
- Corne by foostan (and the Typeractive version)
- also Chocofi, Sweep, and others.
If you build Tempest, I'd love to hear how you get on with it. Please say hello via thrly.com or instagram.
