  • lumberjack-keyboard

    5x12 ortholinear through-hole component keyboard PCB for standard 60% cases

  • IC's are not always the tiny SMD stuff generally used today; it can also be a larger DIP package; the lumberjack (not split) is a nice example of a DIY keyboard that only uses through-hole components, and does not use an external controller board

  • ferris

    A low profile split keyboard designed to satisfy one single use case elegantly

  • The ferris (not sweep) is a great example of a board with an integrated mcu. The big disadvantage is that the design is tied to a specific part and also will be less accessible for DIYers. In the case of the ferris, the chip that it uses has been almost impossible to find for the last year, which is one of the factors of the sweep's popularity over the ferris. https://github.com/pierrechevalier83/ferris

  • keyseebee

    KeySeeBee is a split ergo keyboard. It is only 2 PCB (so the name) with (almost) only SMD components on it. It's only a keyboard, no LED, no display, nothing more than keys and USB.
