Planck

Planck

The planck is an ortholinear 4x12 mechancial keyboard.

The original planck by Jack Humbert can be ordered at https://olkb.com, though Drop (formerly Massdrop) will occasionally manufacture them.

The main community for OLKBs can be found on /r/olkb.

The main parts of an OLKB consist of the PCB, case, top plate, switches, and keycaps. Switches + keycaps are the most user-customizable, though there are some options for cases in both form factor (mid-pro, hi-pro, lo-pro, eotw) and color. PCBs are pretty much a set thing, with the only difference being board versions, and can be programmed using QMK firmware.

At the time of writing, I own 3 planck keyboards which I rotate through on a weekly basis. 2 of the 3 use cherry mx tactile grey switches, and the other use Cherry MX Brown Switches.

All my keycaps are blank row 3 SA profile switches. One is a white PBT plastic, one is black ABS plastic, and the other is green ABS plastic.
