60% Fixed Split Mechanical Keyboard

thingiverse

This is a Fixed (~10cm) Split 60% (69 keys) Mechanical Keyboard. I tried to go for a retro/sci-fi look, some think I succeed, some don't, I'm happy with it either ways ;-) The layout I'm sharing is ISO with arrow keys and staggered rows, but you can easily adapt it to whatever layout you want like ortho, ANSI 60 with or without arrow keys, etc. Just by changing the plates themselves which are quite simple. For this layout I tried to reduce the number of 1U modifiers, but you'll still need 2 for the right CTRL and SHIFT. You'll also need a 2.25U spacebar (I have some I printed on my profile). Also the CapsLock key can fit either style of capslock ! As for the keyboard itself, there is 2 versions of the "sides", the one pictured and one without the little indents/notches etc that are purely cosmetics. For the middle part, there is with or without the "hole", which is also cosmetic and used if like me you change filament during the print. And for each of those versions I made a "light" version with less "stuffs inside" that I used for blocking the microcontroller, holding the USB cable, etc. If you don't know which one to take, you can always take the middle-flat-light which has the more space inside and is easier to work with. Otherwise, most of the stuffs removed inside the light versions can be removed with a pliers or a cutter. Hit me up in the comments if that's not clear enough ;-) Anyway if you print or modify this I would be really happy to see a picture ! I've included the solidworks files.
