  2. Rev3.0 released by Splitkb.
  3. Wanted two new keyboards. One for desk, one for electronics workbench + backup.

Task

  1. Build 2 new Kyria rev3 kits.
  2. Update keymap to fit new layout and long-desired tweaks.

Action

Similar to Build Mechanical Keyboard “Kyria Rev1.4 1.0.0”.

Changes for rev 3.0

  1. Kyria rev3 kit.
  2. Rev3 build guide.
  3. Liatris microcontroller.
  4. Moved rotary encoders to the thumb spots.
  5. Switch to RGB Matrix for per key RGB. Pin instructions here.
  6. Tried using OpenRGB. Fail. Takes too much CPU. Buggy.
