Hey guys I came up with this layout after being
inspired by Evan’s minivan. So I created a 60% layout with a
dedicated arrow key cluster and a split spacebar design. To
utilize both of your thumbs to maximum efficiency! To
compensate I had to remove and move some of the right
cluster keys. In favor you get an arrow key cluster with
split spacebars. The split spacebars are standard right
shift keys 2.25u (enter) and 2.75u (righ shift). The layout
fits standard 60% dimensions which will allow the use of
standard 60% cases ie. Poker and TEX. So together with
Evangs I bring you this new unique layout, if there is
enough interest Evan will gladly make these PCBs and we can
look at a small group buy.

Here are the renders for the universal plate. The plate will
support all layouts supported by the pcb. The material will
be Stainless Steel T304 with a 1.5mm thickness!
Keycap Set (Scrapped for now, will make a
comeback!):
More
New update announcing the supported key cap set me and Evan
have been working on. When making this set I was personally
inspired by the fabulous colors of tropical coral and diver
culture. We are still running through name ideas like “Deep
Dive” and “Swimming with the Fishes”. The set will be in DSA
and will support all layouts supported by our PCB. The
images are rough and they are there to give you an idea of
how the set will look like. The set will only include a base
kit, all the keycaps you see you will get with no additional
cost. The set will be available with the launch of the PCB
as an option for people who want it.

Features:
-Standard 60% PCB
(ANSI/ISO) + splitspacebar and arrow key cluster layouts
-Support
for top mounted in switch leds (backlighting)
- RGB underglow Delayed for future rounds
- We’ll be using an atmega32u4 with TMK. All smd components are presoldered only thing you need to do is add LEDs and switches.

FAQ:
What will be offered in this group buy?
The Banana Split PCB, Universal Plate, and pcb
stabilizer pack (one 6.25u and 6 2u) each can be purchased
separately or together. No limit to how many you can buy.
Is there an estimated price on this PCB + plate GB +
stabilizers?
$40 for the PCB, $40 for the Stainless Steel Plate
and $10 for the stabilizers.
When will the group buy launch?
Id like to shoot for late march - early april, but
that is still tentative.
Aiming for end of may!
PCB or Plate Mounted Stabilizers?
The PCB and plate will only support PCB mounted
stabilizers, you would have to get a custom plate cut if you
wanted compatibility with plate mounted stabilizers.
Will it be compatible with common 60% cases?
YES! Big reason I prefer 60>65, more case
availability.
Is there alps support?
Sadly no, might be something to look into for future
rounds.
Where’s the question mark key?
The right shift key will be programmed so that when
tapped it will register as a “?” but when held it will
function regularly.
How will we program the board?
You can either directly program it through qmk
firmware, or through evan’s keyboard configurator which will
easily allow you to design your ideal layout without
dabbling in code.
Things to consider for future rounds.
-ALPS support
-Dedicated keycap set
-Split-spacebar
pack (I might run a seperate GB for this)
-More plate
materials ie (Aluminum, Brass)
-Custom case (Milled
aluminum, acrylic mid piece)
-RGB Underglow
If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate
and ask!
