The rae-dux is a 36-key (diodeless!), wireless keyboard inspired by the Architeuthis Dux. This project used to use the samoklava workflow, however the auto-router had troubles with the splay, currently I just use the image generating parts of the samoklava workflow.
This has now been printed and is working perfectly with ZMK!
The ZMK shield can be found here, as far as I can tell small custom projects
like this aren’t to be merged into ZMK main, so you’ll have to emulate what I’m
doing in my zmk-config here.
The wonderful @tzcl created a build guide for the rae-dux, so if you are curious about building the board, but don’t have experience with this sort of thing go check it out!
- Wireless only, the 36-key diodeless approach uses the P0 pin which is usually dedicated to TRRS
- Since I ended up largely ditching the samoklava workflow, the actions page with gerbers is out of date and no longer relevant*
- Their is only one MCU footprint, so one controller has to be flipped (I assume if you can get this printed you can figure out the correct orientation)
- The rae-dux.yaml file relies on my fork of ergogen which naturally relies on soundmonster’s fork of ergogen, and a simple JST battery footprint inspired by @benvallack.
- If you want to skip out on the switch, there is no jumper to use the JST connector, so you’ll have to bodge a wire somewhere, or try shorting the switch footprint.
- Kicad files are 6.0, so unfortunately not backwards compatible.
