Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.
The Woodpecker is actually a fork of Lumberelite, created by Özkan Çelik on request of Ardakiic. The Lumberelite was inspired by Paul James' Lumberjack.
I've added a Cirque trackpad, and 3d Printed a shell, which is done by my friends at MechIstanbul Telegram group, which is the Turkey's biggest mechanical keyboard community as of now – Ardakiic.
Lumberjack plates work with the Woodpecker too. Ardakiic is using the lumberjack-split flavor on the board depicted above. Also the board is compatible with 60% cases. The one in the photo is a wooden one from a Chinese e-commerce website. The development board is raised with sockets so drill a hole into the case is not necessary.
Specs
- 60 keys (6x5 offset halves)
- MX or Choc (soldered only)
- Cirque trackpad
- Elite C
- exposed components
