QMx 2040

The Extremely Normal Keyboard. A natural evolution of the TypeMatrix 2020 and 2030 series.

Project

The geometry is an attempt to have a modern matrix layout on an ISO-compatible keyboard. More info on the website: https://onedeadkey.github.io/qmx2040

The conception is derived from Nuclear-Squid’s Quacken:

• the electronic design is still ongoing, files will be published shortly
• the ZMK firmware implements a dedicated keymap, derived from Arsenik

If you want to build or submit a case for this keeb, here’s the FreeCAD source:

• QMx2040.FCStd

Roadmap

• onboard RP2040 (left) and I/O expander (right)
• splittable in two (I²C communication over a TRRS cable)
• hotswap sockets
• optional rotary encoders
