Render

Prism is a low cost QMK compatable 60% + nav cluster (or TKL minus F-row if you prefer) keyboard.

It came about for a number of reasons:

  • I had some TGW71 PCBs designed by u/ca178858 lying around doing nothing
  • I am procrastinating instead of doing my PhD thesis writeup
  • There was a competition on r/CustomKeyboards to build retro themed keyboards.

As it was planned for the OG Summer competition I decided to emulate some of the design language of the ZX Sepctrum family of computers (particularly the the ones that came after the 48k).

To Do

  • Improve feet fastening/height adjustment
  • Update .dxf to include latest revision

Future Plans

Currently this repo is a bit of a dumping ground for what I have designed so far, though it is possible to recreate the keyboard entirely. Eventually I want it to include:

  • Multiple plate layer configurations
  • Multiple top layer configuations
  • Changes to the PCB to include PCB mount stabilisers and better bottom row support

Current status

Prototype complete - Displayed at Mechanical Keyboard Meetup (Leeds 26/10/2019)
