sweep36 VS fingerpunch

there is the sweep (https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep). Also there are some sweep variants with 36 keys (https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36)

At the time I liked the sweep but there was no 36 option until /u/sadekbaroudi created one: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36

With 36 keys you don’t need another controller, just use more pins of elite-c or nice nano. Here is an example of boards with 36 keys without using diodes: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36

Sweep36

Take a look at the swweeep case, as I took this exact approach: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36/tree/master/cases/swweeep

https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36 - this derivative of the sweep adds a 3rd thumb key and perkey LEDs to some of his versions.

I want to build a swweeep, a wireless 36-keys variant of the sweep.

have you already picked up the board and parts? The Sweep36 has oled, rgb, 2 extra keys and remains diodeless due to using an elite-c controller which exposes 5 more GPIO.

On the photos you can see KS-33 brown switches, black resin case and XVX keycaps. 5-way knob is a shortened version of a one from @sadekbaroudi.

My build of the fingerpunch sadekbaroudi pinkies out v2! https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/fingerpunch/blob/master/keyboards/pinkies-out/v2/BUILDGUIDE.md

My first handwired board checks all your requirements, and I have some pictures of the process, but it is not a complete guide. It might help though. And I think the FFKB case can be great for a first handwired project.

You can get the kicad footprint from my fingerpunch github repo if you want to use it: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/fingerpunch/blob/master/kicad/fingerpunch.pretty/3waythumb-K1-1502SA-01-C145915.kicad_mod

Here are mine: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/fingerpunch/tree/master/keyboards/ximi/cases/stl/v1

/u/sadekbaroudi has a few here
