⚠️ Ideation stage, no actual content here yet.
This is a long intent idea - not lilely to start soon!
A 68-key "65%" keyboard designed for QMK with specific focus on Topre / EC (Electro Capacitive) switches.
Ah.... Topre! The much wanted, but highly niche, keyboards. Only a few on the market, and most of those are ABS cases.
This will be an attempt to build a Alu case topre-style keyboard.
Option 1 | Option 2 |

The problem is...
... that "Topre" switches aren't commercially available for self-built projects.
Things are changing tho., it may be somewhat possible with buying "spare parts" for the existing sets - things like:
- Switch Housing
- Dome Springs
- Switch Sliders, 1 & 2
- Rubber Domes, 1 & 2
- Stabs (a.k.a. "Sliders Stems Adapters")
- ... by the time I get this started the whole MCU landscape may have changed ;)
We'll see. - May just use an existing PCB and build the case. Tho ... PCBs is my ❤️.
We'll see.
