KLOTZ SPLIT KEYBOARD

KLOTZ is a 34 key column-staggered choc split keyboard running ZMK. It supports a low profile encoder, three status LEDs on every side and the SplitKB tenting puck.

LAYOUT

PCB

Here you can find the KiCad files and Gerbers for the KLOTZ.

SWITCHPLATE

And here is the switchplate, which you should use, if you plan to use hotswap sockets.

KNOB

You can use pretty much any knob, which works with EC12 encoder, but here you can find one, I designed for the KLOTZ.

BUILD GUIDE

The build guide for the KLOTZ can be found here.

FIRMWARE

ZMK config for the KLOTZ.

TRAVELCASE

Since a lot of people use the Amazon basics harddrive case (ZH1510147) for the KLOTZ I thought I should put an (affiliate) link in here.

If you build a KLOTZ I would be pretty happy to see some pictures. And if you want to leave me a tip you can do this here (but please don't feel pressured)
