3W6

3W6

The 3w6 is a low profile, split ortholinear keyboard with 36 keys.

I needed a keyboard for work and wasn't really satisfied with the available alternatives (namely Corne, Kyria and Ferris), mostly because they are either rather large and/or don't have the spacing I would like.

The 3w6 is designed to be a simple, realiable, cheap and small keyboard to be taken everywhere.

There are currently two revisions:

  • Rev1:
    • onboard microcontroller (ATMega32U4)
    • USB-C connector Board <-> PC
    • USB-C connectors between both split halfs
    • choc spacing (18x17mm)
    • aggressive pinky stagger
    • support for Choc V1 switches
  • Rev2:
    • everything Rev1 did
    • additional middle plate (2mm)
    • support for Pimoroni Trackball instead of outer thumb switch on right half, needs midplate
    • mounting holes for Tenting Puck, only usable without mid or switchplate

  • Keyboard Maintainer: weteor
  • Hardware Supported:
    • 3w6 rev1
    • 3w6 rev2 (with Pimoroni support)
  • Hardware Availability:

To reach the bootloader, connect the board to the PC and push the reset button on left half.

Make examples for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make 3w6/rev1:default
make 3w6/rev2:default
make 3w6/rev2:default_pimoroni
