# Splitfin | ||
|
||
<!-- Describe your board in 2-3 sentences. What are you making? What will it do? --> | ||
## Description | ||
This board is the right side of a split keyboard. I wanted to make this keyboard because there are currently no "normal layout" split keyboards that use gateron low profile switches on the market. | ||
<!-- How much is it going to cost? --> | ||
## Cost Breakdown For One Keyboard (both sides) | ||
Case + Plate: 3d printed (cnc if the opportunity presents itself) | ||
|
||
Keycaps: $30-60 or 3d printed | ||
|
||
OLED (optional): $10 | ||
|
||
Switches: $20 | ||
|
||
Stabilizers: $10 | ||
|
||
Hotswap Sockets: $7 | ||
|
||
Bonsai C4 extended: $20 | ||
<!-- Tell us a little bit about your design process. What were some challenges? What helped? ***Totally optional*** --> | ||
## Design Process | ||
I started by thinking about what I didn't like about the keyboards I had been typing on. First of all, I don't like the high travel on common mechanical keyswitches. Low profile switches solve this and make the keyboard lower to the desk which is also desirable. | ||
|
||
The biggest challenge was routing the boards. I used KiCad and freerouting, and randomly it would either route in 5 minutes, or in 3 hours. | ||
|
||
What helped was talking to the folks on the qmk discord server to verify what mcu/board would be compatible with all the qmk features that I wanted to use. They also gave me great tips about best practice when designing keyboard pcbs. |
