From the project

Ortholinear 60% 3-part keyboard PCB

Tripel is a 15 column ortholinear keyboard PCB.

The goal of this project is to build an all throughhole component, pro-micro powered ortholinear PCB that fits in a standard 60% tray mount case but built from sub-100x100mm PCB boards.

Inspired by the modular PCB projects of 40Percent.club like the Nori.

Designed to be easy to build with minimal soldering experience. Built from 3 of the same PCB. * 7u spacebar bottom row.
