It’s not done yet, but I figured I’d show off a little bit since I have been using this for a few weeks now. This is the “swirl”. It’s heavily inspired by the helix with some notable changes:
mbk Choc Spacing (Dimensions are about 12.5cm x 8.5cm on either half)
Reversible roller encoders on the top inner switch
I’ve been converted to the ortholinear layout since my EOTW Preonic, now I have that plus a Planck and a second hand Drop Preonic - but I’m interested in going to a split kb next.
This looks awesome, but may I ask - what function does the dual rollers serve? I get rotary encoders mapping to volume, but I don’t know what two would be used for.
Looks awesome! Why use two boards and the trrs cable? Couldn’t you use one board and the cable? Or can each of the two halves be used independently of one another?
In a perfect world, yeah totally. I could use controllers that are approximately twice the price (nice!nanos) and have to rewrite the firmware (qmk -> zmk) and deal with Bluetooth, or I could just use wires and have it “just work™”. I personally prefer this, but tons of people go the wireless route.
