Overview

Alipt Keyboard Right is an open-source printed circuit board by JayWhyOkay, from the JayWhyOkay/splice-split-keyboard repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 192.3 × 119.6 mm with 88 parts on 59 nets, routed with 540 tracks and 26 vias.

Its parts include 36 switches, 35 diodes, 5 connectors, 2 resistors and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Splice - A Split Alice

Splice is a split keyboard in the Alice layout.

The goal is to design a board suited for myself as there are no boards designed quite like the Alice. Most split boards are generally based on an ortholinear layout, something that I personally canntot get used to.

The keyboard is based off the Sofle Keyboard from Josef, with adjustments made to fit the preferred layout.

Notes: Revision 1 and 2 PCB uses CFTKB and Sofle footprints, and all credits for footprints used belong to the respective footprint designer.

Below are images of renders and prototypes.

Complete project will come soon.

Prototype of Revision 1 Revision 1 PCB

Changelist

Revision 3:

  • TBA
  • Normal and stepped caps support
  • 2U, 2.25U spacebar support on left side
  • indicator LEDs?

Revision 2:

  • Shortened PCB dimensions
  • Relocated TRRS connector to top towards MCU Port
  • Readjusted OLED Breakout
  • Added silkscreen logos for the board

Future Changes and To-Do List

  • Refactor schematics to support ai03 footprints
  • make an Atmega32u4 version
  • 2024: Update to latest QMK version!

Questions

How big is the Alipt Keyboard Right PCB?

It measures 192.3 × 119.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Alipt Keyboard Right use?

88 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 Alipt Keyboard Right KiCad files?

From the JayWhyOkay/splice-split-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb-right/Alipt-Keyboard-Right.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Alipt Keyboard Right 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).
