Ferris is an open-source, 34-key low-profile split keyboard design with KiCad PCB files, firmware contributed to QMK, and build scripts. It is OSHWA-certified hardware available in multiple variants (Choc and MX switches) with a focus on comfort, portability, and minimalism.

Use cases

• build a compact ergonomic split keyboard
• find open-source keyboard PCB designs to print or fabricate
• customize firmware for a 34-key keyboard with QMK
• assemble a low-cost low-profile mechanical keyboard
• hack on open-source hardware keyboard designs
• choose a portable travel keyboard to build yourself

When to choose

• you want a minimal 34-key split keyboard with fully open hardware
• you prefer simplicity over features like RGB, OLED, or hot-swap
• you want an OSHWA-certified design with multiple switch variants

When to avoid

• you need hot-swap sockets, RGB, OLED displays, or encoders
• you want a ready-made keyboard rather than one you assemble yourself
• you need a reversible PCB shared between both hands
