Link Split Ergo

The Link split ergo is an upcoming keyboard project from us at CannonKeys that aims to fill a gap in the ergo market. We've designed our own PCB that uses an RP2040 with USB-C interconnectivity and high profile CNC aluminum case that maintains compatibility with several OEM tenting solutions. There will also be tenting solutions designed by our team for link specifically that will be open sourced upon the start of the group buy.

We're aiming for a sub $250 price for the Link in group buy.

We've designed and tested tenting bases for the Link that will be open sourced for the group buy. We are still deciding if this is something we will offer for sale as an inexpensive 3D printed addon, but regardless of our decision there the design will be open sourced for you to customize and tinker with. Additionally, there are ¼-20 UNC threaded holes in the bottom of the case so any already existing tripod/tenting solutions that use the formfactor can be installed on Link.

Link uses a unique combination of gasket and tray mounting in order to achieve a softer typing feel without the need for a top case.

Gaskets are mounted inside the tray case, which align with various points on the PCB.

The plate assembly is then screwed down into the case, which allows the PCB to be comfortably suspended on the gaskets to effectively dampen the vibration from typing regardless of typing force.

Before running this group buy, we'd love to hear from you. Let us know about features & functionality you want to see become a part of this project. Additionally, if this GB has sufficient interest and manages to sell 300 units we will open source the wired PCBs so the ergo community can continue to use and build on the platform for themselves.
