Promenade

Promenade

The Promenade is a 60% ortholinear hotswap keyboard based on the split hand layout of the Boardwalk. While similar to the Professional 2 hotswap version of the Boardwalk, it uses 1.5u verticle inner mods instead of 1u keys, includes a JST connector, adds stabilizer mounting positions for 6u and split 3u spacebards, and in addition to 60% tray mounting points the pcb has edge cuts for for use in gummy o-ring mount boards like the Bakeneko60.

The 1.5u vertical inner mods are the default configuration, but the board can be configured to use 3x2 1u keys either by removing the existing hotswap sockets and soldering 6 hotswap sockets to the 1u pads. Note that the some of the 1u keys may require the plastic legs of 5-pin switches to be trimmed.
