Wheat Fields split 75% keyboard

I’m proud of this one because it took a lot of extra work!

For one thing, this is the first keyboard to feature my latest stabilizer modification which makes the top-out / upstroke of the stabilized keys quieter. You will not find quieter stabilizers than these, I can guarantee!

The PCB didn’t support 3u spacebar on the left side so I drilled my own holes for the stabilizers and switch for the left 3u spacebar, and also bent my own 3u stab wire.

I will share info if anyone is interested. It was not pretty modifying the PCB but it’s finally working, thank goodness!

I also ported it to QMK if anyone buys it and wants to run QMK. It’s in my fork for now:

Sorry for the crappy video, I’ll try to make a better one later.
Here’s how I did the stabs:

Those are some dead quiet stabs there Mr. Walker! :open_mouth: :sunglasses:

is this the same board people mean when they say “taobao ve.a clone” ?

It is, but this one has a lot of visual differences vs. the Ve.a, so I’m not sure clone is the right term

At least, nobody would mix them up looking at them

What color options are available with this keeb? I’ve seen it on Taobao but they’re sparse on details.

I might have misunderstood but i don’t think they offer any other color options but this

Just FYI - According to the seller, the PCB in this keyboard is the same as this other one:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=556970472669&spm=1101.1101.N.N.c82c128

So if you have either of these, my QMK port will work for you, looks like!
