From the project
34 key EC split keyboard
Tako is a vertical stagger split keyboard with electrostatic capacitive (EC) non-contact switches.
Depending on which parts you are going to use, make sure to select the proper top plate (OG or NIZ). Ensure you use the correct thickness - the OG (OEM, Deskeys, etc) plate should be 1.2mm, and the NIZ should be 1.6mm!
RP2040-based boards should be used for wired build - Liatris, Frood, Sea-Picro, Splinky, etc.
