Squiggle standard is an open source PCB design by ibnuda, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 116 × 115.2 mm, with 36 components from 5 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the TRRS and ProMicro. By type, the board carries 17 switches, 17 diodes and 2 ICs.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

It's a keyboard family which based on my circumstances, preferences, and observed usages.

It's a keyboard family which based on my circumstances, preferences, and observed usages.

- 5 columns per hand. My right pinky is almost useless. - At most 3 keys for each side's thumb row. My right thumb key is almost useless. - No numrow. It's harder and more cumbersome to use than a numpad on a layer. - Split. Typing on single flat keyboard hurts my arms in a lot of use cases. - Symmetric. Personal preferences.
