  • Modular & Reusable parts
  • Low Cost
  • Low Profile
  • Wireless
  • 34 keys

Project Reason

  • DOOOPE keyboard was created to use Redragon low profile switch as a cheap alternative to the Low profile choc switches used in many Low-pro boards, hence the name "DOOOPE" that sounds like dupe.
  • Another decision is to use off the shelf components and the cheapest at each category.
  • This keyboard also used Ergogen V4 to prototype the layout and later finished in Kicad.
