About the Pragmatic 5x6 input module

Pragmatic 5x6 input module is an open source PCB design by jamessa, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 109.9 × 100.3 mm, with 17 components from 1 distinct parts.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

A modular split keyboard kit.

Pragmatic 務實鍵盤 是一個分離式鍵盤套件,有數字列,有方向鍵與功能列。支援VIAL與QMK,輕鬆調整鍵盤配置,是分離式鍵盤的基本款。

本套件的開發將會務實的採用敏捷流程,每次都發佈最小可行硬體套件,然後讓大家一起討論,看看如何讓這個鍵盤變得更好用。

換言之,這將是一把大家一起設計的鍵盤,而設計的原則就是「 務實 」,只加入使用的功能,降低開發的時間與成本;使用最少的硬體,達到最好的效果。

在嘗試了超多款鍵盤與超級多的人體工學研究之後,上週我無意間試做了分離式鍵盤的始祖直排Let's split,不得了!!!這實在太好用了,務實,一整個好用。

首先直排讓手指可以自然的上下移動,減少手指的負擔,讓使用者不會過勞。分離式鍵盤可以顯著改善腰酸背痛的辦公室症候群。自己改用了分離式鍵盤以後,背痛就減輕八成(個人經驗)。

總鍵數達到72個,但是使用的空間卻比60%鍵盤還小,實在是太神奇了。因此我才會想要開啟這個專案。
