Quartz58
About the Quartz58 PCB
Quartz58 is an open source PCB design by timwhat, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 135.9 × 109.4 mm, with 136 components from 12 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the NICE_NANO_V2. By type, the board carries 62 switches, 62 diodes, 6 connectors, 2 ICs and 1 transformer.
It belongs with the keyboards, iot & wireless and displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
My attempt at a split, wireless, ortholinear, and trackpad supporting keyboard!
Attempt at a two places removed, no compromises keyboard
Inspired by the lily58, SoflePLUS2, and MANY others to fit my personal needs
The reason why I made this project was that I was always fascinated by keyboards, especially the ergonomic ones, and I just love designing things. So since this was my chance to try it, so I jumped at it!
- 58 keys, each able to support at the same time, MX and Choc hotswap sockets!
