keyboard-pcbs VS su120-keyboard

In the repo for the royals there is a folder called 'gerber' which contains the files...

For the Amoeba Royal, first clone the repo: https://github.com/mtl/keyboard-pcbs/tree/master/amoeba-royale, then zip up the gerber folder and upload it to your PCB manufacturer of choice. I used jlcpcb and you can find the settings I used here: . Note that I ordered 5 panels of 10x5 pieces, so I ended up with 250 pieces. You may want to adjust accordingly. Btw the pinout reference for wiring is also in the same directory.

You can get the gerber files from This repo and get them really cheap from jlcpcb or other pcb services.

The thumbs are the "famous" github

They look like an Amoeba 1.5.

Or search for https://github.com/mtl/keyboard-pcbs or amoeba king or

They are SU120. There is a bug in the file that prevents JLCPCB from recognizing/producing them. (I've got a PR in to fix that). Elecrow is fine with it though.

The SU120. Hot swap only, but very clever design. Columns and rows are connected by default, so one only needs to connect the ones you break. The creator has made it available in git (link)

I'm using the su120 boards. They are snap-apart-optional single key pcbs that can be joined with screws rather than wires. (I'm sick of soldering Amoebas for dactyls). You can see them in the upper-left. They support hotswap sockets, rotary encoders, and can be a board by themseleves if you don't break them apart and solder on a pro-micro. I'm concerned about not finding an optimal connector length for the angled thumb pieces - but I'm not above a little bit of soldering now and then.

Isn’t the su 120 what you are looking for?

You can also use su120 for this. I made a magnetic adjustable layout tester keyboard using those.

Someone recently posted a dactyl build using these. https://github.com/e3w2q/su120-keyboard

A set of Dactyl Manuform 5x6 cases with 5-key thumb clusters and external PCB trays printed in clear PLA. Holes have undercut notches for cherry/compatible and small screw holes (M1.4x5 self-tapping screws) to fit SU120 PCBs per key. Comes with threaded inserts and screws for base plates.

I used SU120 bit boards (from /u/e3w2, thanks for open-sourcing it!) as a base, to which I added SK6812 mini-e support (had to remove support for choc sockets though).
