Description
*REduced ergoDOX custom mechanical keyboard.* This project is a case for a custom ergonomic mechanical keyboard. The plate is compatible with Cherry MX and clones switches. This entire project is supposed to be a hand-wiring project. I uploaded the schematic and an image containing the switch location to help in the wiring process. If you follow that schematic you can use the [QMK Redox firmware](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/redox). **Update**: A new version of this project is available. [The Redox rev.1](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2886662) support a custom PCB (designed by me =D ) to simplify the building process. More information about the project [in the Redox repository](https://github.com/mattdibi/redox-keyboard). **Update2**: Added a modified version of the plate in which the layout uses less 1.25u keycaps in favour of 1u keycaps. The new plate files are: `PlateL1u.STL` and `PlateR1u.STL`. Rev1.0 layout:
Rev1.1 layout:
Materials needed: - **70**x: Cherry compatible switches - **70**x: Diodes (I used 1N4148) - **70**x: Cherry compatible keycaps - **10**x (**8**x for 1u Layout): 1.25u keycaps - **6**x: 1.5u keycaps - **54**x (**56**x for 1u Layout): 1u keycaps - **14**x: M3 8mm screws - **2**x: 4 poles 3.5 mm plug - **2**x: Arduino pro micros - **2**x: USB micro male to female cable/adapter - A lot of cable - A lot of soldering Build log: [link](https://imgur.com/a/phr2z) Reddit thread: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/7iu8bc/p_i_made_a_thing/) Firmware:[QMK](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware) Handwiring guides: - [QMK Handwiring guide](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/hand_wire.md) - [QMK Let's split](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/lets_split)
