The Gamma Omega TC36k is the diodeless, single-PCB model of the authentic Gamma Omega – designed and shared by unspecworks and Peter Cock.
Whereas the information of the ULP model will not be but accessible, right here is the Gamma Omega TC36k, utilizing graph idea like e.g. triliu‘s JESK56 and reJESK:
Particularly, it makes use of a partial Tutte-Coxeter graph, with solely 26/30 nodes/vertices/pins, and 36/45 edges/switches/keys (thus “TC36k”), however nonetheless girth 8 for 6-key rollover – unspecworks.
The unique Gamma-Omega has a left & proper PCB (with the identical reversible design), joined on the center with the controller daughter board itself. The TC36k is an anternative single PCB design, meant to suit the identical case.
Bigger PCBs are costlier, however utilizing no diodes means far much less components and soldering, thus faster and simpler meeting.
Specs
- 36 keys (3×5+3)
- Choc footprint (hotswap or soldered)
