https://discord.gg/W75Ms5HbjZUpdate 5/8Long time no update, but this project is still active. My vendor recently just built his protos, and we are almost ready to go into a GB. The vendor who will be hosting this is Vala Supply.
As you can see, the images got a fair facelift. There will be two skeleton case offerings, gloss white and matte black plates.
We will be anticipating a max order quantity of 50. Hopefully that's not too optimistic, but that's what I have gathered based on IC metrics.
The Lotus is a 14-column split keyboard with what I have coined as "satellites." These satellites, being the standout feature of the board, connect via a second TRRS jack and into an I2C compatible board to power a key cluster, another rotary encoder, or an OLED. Alternatively, it should be possible to power a mini i2c trackball, but this is as of yet untested.
Features:
- 14 columns with a columnar stagger to match that of the Kyria
- MX and Choc Compatibility
(Choc switches w/ MBK keycaps on the left, MX switches w/ SA blanks on the right)
- Supports up to 2 rotary encoders, 4 when using satellites
- Ortho and ergo kit compatibility
(KAM Little Pilot ortho + OLED satellite)
- Multipurpose hotswap satellites able to handle a multitude of different modules
