60 key split ortholinear keyboard
Qapla is a 60 key keyboard with Choc or MX switches inspired by Lilly58 and Sofle. Columns have splay and stagger based on my cardboard mocks.
Ergogen to define layout, generate PCB and case. Ceoloide Footprints to add footprints (It is a fork which adds via pads for diodes). * Routing is done in KiCad.
