README.mdFiðrildi
Fiðrildi is a 34-key, ortholinear, butterfly-shaped, unibody split keyboard inspired by Reviung, Corne, and others.

QMK support is in the "steve" branch of my QMK repo
I use my own custom keymap on these, which is also in my QMK branch.
Versions:
- Version 4: Based on version 3 with bug fixes and ergonomic tweaks. Keeps the reverse-mount LEDs and acrylic, removes the 4-pin JST connector, adds rotary encoder. MCU is soldered in rather than socketed in order to minimize the profile. Requires 0xcb Helios MCU.
- Version 3: Ergonomic tweaks, peripheral support via 4-pin and 8-pin JST SH (1 mm) connectors, switch to reverse-mount LEDs and acrylic middle layer. MCU is soldered in rather than socketed in order to minimize the profile. Requires 0xcb Helios MCU.
- Version 2: Eronomic tweaks, Cirque trackpad, GC9A01 display, rotary encoder, and side-mount LEDs on the bottom of the PCB. MCU is soldered in rather than socketed in order to minimize the profile. Requires 0xcb Helios MCU.
- Version 1: Inspired by the MT3 Lord of the Rings keycaps.

Questions
How big is the Fidrildi4 PCB?
It measures 295.3 × 133.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Fidrildi4 use?
124 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-EA. 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 Fidrildi4 KiCad files?
From the jstevej/fidrildi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v4/pcb/fidrildi4.kicad_pcb and its schematic v1/pcb-top-plate/fidrildi.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Fidrildi4 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jstevej before reusing the design.
