Revision Two of my ortholinear ergonomic keyboard The Monticello Drive is a low-profile wireless split keyboard with a hand-designed PCB with a custom layout designed for my hands and muscle-memories. This keyboard has been my "daily driver" since February 2025.
While Revision Zero and Revision One were parametrically generated, Revision Two was designed by hand. The layout is identical to the Revision One, with some small changes to key-spacing, but the schematics, PCB, and BOM were rebuilt from the ground up in Kicad.
NEXT add some pictures
NEXT write about the PCB design & BOM
NEXT write about the Openscad case design
NEXT improve on the case design
actual mag-safe instead of button magnets glued in to it
finally get OLEDs working with it, the footpprint is kind of tight with the batteries under the OLEDs right now so i took them off.
so different batteries, the 3.7v 100mAh guys are fine but take up a lot of space by the power switch and should just sit in their own place above the QWE and IOP row chars
the case needs to be fully enclosed, not just a tray.
