su120-keyboard VS pineapple60

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).

The only thing I would love to see is a keyboard mod for something ergonomic. Something like the ThinKeys project, or the pineapple60 project. I'm not sure if I have the time, but maybe I could try my hand at prototyping something, if Framework has the relevant specs open-sourced and documented somewhere?

Here's another one that doesn't need individual row wires: https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60/blob/main/p4/.

My dream setup with one of these would be to replace the keyboard and numpad with an ergodox as close to full-size as I could get it, something like this but with the halves angled, and with the thumb keys preserved.

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "p4"

AFAIK there's no equivalent for the console... but if you have the right Thinkpad you could try building a pineapple60 :)

Those new cherry switches would be useful for this project: https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60
