Overview

Palac came to be as an offshoot of Sofle. The current idea behind it is to create a straightforward split keyboard: no rotary encoders, no backlight, and to explore no stagger in the pinky column: with the pinky positioned slightly below the center of the home row key, in case of five rows one could reach the top and the bottom row with same ease.

Questions

How big is the Palac PCB?

It measures 139.6 × 113.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Palac use?

71 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 Palac KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Palac 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).
