Zerosprey42 Keyboard

Zerosprey42 Keyboard

Zerosprey42 Keyboard is a 42-key, wired, beginner friendly, choc v1 hotswap, MonoBlockSplit (Unibody), column-staggered, DIY low-profile mechanical keyboard. It balances between portability and ergonomics with a sleek travel case. This is a remix of ebastler‘s osprey with a low cost RP2040-Zero.

The development of this project is sponsored by PCBWay (affiliate link).

Quick Links

Zerosprey42 Keyboard PCB

Features

  • MCU Board - WaveShare RP2040-Zero
    • It includes a powerful RP2040 MCU with a lot of flash memory (2MB), so you can enable many QMK features and layers without worrying about the firmware size.
  • Easier to solder (for the DIY soldering option)
    • There are very few components/pins to solder for the basic version. You will need to solder diodes, hot swap sockets, and the castellated holes for the RP2040-Zero.
  • Choc spacing
    • Key switches are arranged tighter than the standard spacing.
  • Ergonomics
    • Slightly angled sides, with a bigger thumb key.
  • Monoblock Enclosure for Portability
    • There is an elegant case modified from the original osprey keyboard. It includes a top case, switch plate and a bottom case.
  • Firmware
    • QMK and Vial are supported. For advanced users, you should be able to use other firmwares including ZMK, KMK (Python-based), PRK (Ruby-based) and keyberon (Rust-based)
