VoyagerSplit

A wireless low profile keyboard made for Hack Club's Blueprint program. It uses a staggered columnar layout with 28 keys on each side, with 4 thumb buttons. It uses Kailh Choc switches and Seeed Studio Xiao BLE microcontrollers.

Why?

I decided to design this keyboard to help improve my typing speed and to give me a mechanical keyboard option for when I'm travelling or away from my PC, as I go into college. I wanted to keep it fairly similar to a conventional keyboard though to prevent too much learning curve.

Questions

How big is the VoyagerSplitKicad PCB?

It measures 274.5 × 100.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VoyagerSplitKicad use?

131 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the VoyagerSplitKicad KiCad files?

From the destroyer796/VoyagerSplit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VoyagerSplitKicad/VoyagerSplitKicad.kicad_pcb and its schematic VoyagerSplitKicad/VoyagerSplitKicad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VoyagerSplitKicad design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
