Features

  • All docs and design files are public. Parts are standard and replaceable.
  • Three sizes: S (40 keys), M (46), or L (58).
  • Hybrid hot-swap sockets fit low- and high-profile switches: MX, Choc v1, Choc v2, GLP v3.
  • Remap any key. Add layers, macros, and combos.
  • The case is 9 mm thick, without switches or feet.
  • The two halves link over Bluetooth, and your device connects over Bluetooth or USB-C.
  • A single charge gives 4 weeks on the main half and 6 months on the secondary.1

Questions

How big is the Flake L PCB?

It measures 139.3 × 113.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flake L use?

62 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 Flake L KiCad files?

From the lever-tech/flake repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/L/Flake-L.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/L/Flake-L.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flake L design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
