Torn

The split keyboard kit made by through hole components only. The design has been inspired by the Corne, Plaid and Discipline keyboards.

It uses an Atmega328P cpu, running QMK with VUSB:

QMK firmware.
Bootloader.
Compatible with VIA

Instructions are in the Build guide. As well as the PCBs you need to buy the parts listed in the BOM. The latest PCB design is shown in these renders.

You can ask questions and get help on the Torn Discord channel.

Thanks

It would not have been possible for me to design Torn without the information and designs published by the mechanical keyboard community. So thanks go to ...
