ferricy

A 34-key split keyboard based on the Sweep.

Ferricy is a slightly modified version of the Ferris Sweep, sporting a more industrial look with sharper edges. Notable features:

  • Ferricy MX based on the Sweep MX Bling.
  • Ferricy Choc based on the Sweep Half-Swept.
  • Tenting puck support has been removed (I have no use for it).
  • Squared-off edges (plates modified accordingly).
  • Larger holes in the PCB for M2 standoffs to pass through.
  • The stupid Rust crab is gone.

Questions

How big is the Ferricy PCB?

It measures 113.5 × 95.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ferricy use?

30 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 Ferricy KiCad files?

From the icyphox/ferricy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/mx/ferricy.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/choc/ferricy_choc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ferricy design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask icyphox before reusing the design.
