Infernum PCB & Switch Plate
NOTE: Plates are cut to order. Please allow up to one week for shipping confirmation.
This listing is for PCB & Switch Plate ONLY.
All other components must be purchased/supplied separately. (i.e. case, switches, keycaps, and encoders)
General Details
Infernum is a 35% Katana stagger keyboard running on QMK/Vial. With the use of layers and combos built into QMK and customizable in Vial, small form factor keyboards can fully replace the functionality of a full sized keyboard. Katana stagger is an ergonomic form factor sometimes likened to columnar stagger. The mirrored left hand side is beneficial in reducing typing fatigue, particularly for those who struggle with left side wrist pain. The right side of the keyboard is not much different from the standard row stagger most are accustomed to.
Both PCB options are running on an RP2040 microcontroller, with RGB under-glow, and two independently programmable rotary encoder locations.
Firmware can be customized using Vial (available for local download or web application), or by modifying the source code found on GitHub.
Case Options
Case options are available for purchase here.
Case print files are also available on GitHub.
For those interested in designing their own case for the Infernum family of PCBs, relevant files can be found on GitHub.
Plate Information
The plates offered for both PCBs are universal plates, meaning that they support all of the spacebar options offered on their respective PCB. Layout options are shown in the "Layout" tab.
Single layout plates can be cut if preferred. Please make a note at checkout and I will be in contact.
For those interested in an alternative plate material, plate files can be found on GitHub.
Note: A switch plate is required for mounting to available cases.

PLATE QUALITY DISCLAIMER
Please note, plates will ship with small plastic remnants as pictured - these should not affect the build but can be removed if desired.
White Polypropylene - The stock material for white polypropylene measures 1.65mm thick. This added thickness may cause switches to not clip in properly. If this is an issue for you, please choose black polypropylene or clear polycarbonate.
Depending on layout choice, 34 - 38 MX switches and up to 2 EC11 encoders are required for this build
Note: 2u spacebars locations do not support stabilizers
