What is sweep?
Sweep is a version of the more fabulous Ferris by Pierre Chevalier that uses a daughter board like a promicro, elite-c, bit-c, nice!nano etc. instead of using onboard components.
What are the different types?
Device | On/Off Switch[1] | Reversible PCB[2] | Choc V1 | Choc V2 | Choc Mini | MX & Alps | Choc Spacing[3] | Tenting[4] | Hot Swap |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sweep2.x | Mill-Max (optional) | ||||||||
Sweep Bling LP | Kailh (required) | ||||||||
Sweep Bling MX | [5] |
Kailh (required) | |||||||
Sweep High | |||||||||
Sweep High M | MX | ||||||||
Sweep Half Swept | Mill-Max (optional) | ||||||||
Sweep Mini |
Note: All versions support bluetooth with Nice!Nano
[1] An on/off switch is recommended for bluetooth builds.
[2] With a reversible PCB it's easier to make mistakes during assembly, but it allows you to purchase less boards.
[3] Choc spaced boards have the switches in a tighter grid. This provides a better final look but is only compatible with some choc keycaps. (e.g. MBK)
[4] Supports splitkb's tenting puck.
[5] MX + kailh hotswap ONLY. Alps are NOT supported.
