README
README.mdSplit Steno Keyboard
This repo has some of the files from a custom split keyboard I made a few years ago.
The keyboard is designed to be maximally ergonomic for my hand shape (col height and thumb cluster positioning), have NKRO support for stenography with Plover, to have enough keys for a full QWERTY layout, and to be relatively simple and cheap to manufacture.
Unfortunately I have lost some files, so this repository is incomplete.
Features:
- Low profile Kailh Choc switches
- RPI Pico-based
- Split halves connected by 3.5mm headphone cable
- NKRO for steno support

Questions
How big is the Junk PCB?
It measures 143 × 115.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Junk use?
22 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 Junk KiCad files?
From the generic-account/split-steno-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is junk.kicad_pcb and its schematic junk.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Junk design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask generic-account before reusing the design.
