Split keyboard with 38 keys, LCD display and trackpad (Azoteq or Cirque).
- MX, KS-33 or Choc switches
- wired split with USB-C or TRRS interconnection
- 38 keys
- roller/rotary encoders
- LCD display (1.69" 240x280 by default)
- Azoteq/Cirque trackpad support
- 2-key pinky columns
- 3D printed cases
- VIK support - MX/KS version only
PCB has all SPI/I2C contacts exposed, so any other device can be used instead, it's just a matter of changing the case (at least that's the idea).

Compiled versions:
default- sample keymap with home row mods. Not recommended for longer use - create your own.hid- default keymap with HID support. Requires companion application.zzeneg- my highly customized layout.*-rect- version with rectangular display (ST7789 240x280)*-round- version with round display (GC9A01 240x240)*-flat- version with flat Cirque*-curved- version with curved Cirque*-mirror- version with trackpad on left and display on right side
- covers (right side only) - TPS43, TPS65 (tested)
- firmware - experimental support source code
- to connect touchpad you can use either VIK adapter or solder wires directly from Azoteq pads to I2C contacts on PCB
VIK is a standard for a data interface between printed circuit boards. It is intended to provide modularity between a mechanical keyboard PCB and additional features.
| Category | Classification | Response |
|---|---|---|
| FPC connector | Required | ✔️ |
| Breakout pins | Recommended | ✔️ |
| Supplies: SPI | Strongly recommended | ✔️ [1] |
| Supplies: I2C | Strongly recommended | ✔️ [1] |
| I2C on main PCB | Discouraged | No |
| I2C pull ups | Informative | Optional[2] |
| Supplies: RGB | Strongly recommended | ✔️ |
| Supplies: Extra GPIO 1 | Required | Digital |
| Supplies: Extra GPIO 2 | Required | Digital |
[1]: I2C and SPI use same pins, so you can use only one or the other, not both. Selection is configured in firmware.
[2]: PCB has pads designed for 1206/3216 SMD resistors, you can solder them manually if needed.
Built-in display and trackpad use the same interface, so any additional VIK module will have to replace one of them. Depending on the size it can integrated into the cover or a standalone case.
All possible connectors support VIK - FPC horizontal on the back, FPC vertical on the front and the breakout pins.
