Phantom Hotswap — Maker Keyboards

65% Hotswap PCB for Phantom with Blocker — Felix Jen

Released on February 01, 2021


Phantom — A Hotswap PCB with 65% blocker support

The Phantom is a PCB designed around the Maker Keyboards Phantom case. Due to the inclusion of a seamless 65% blocker, special cutouts needed to be included to allow the PCB to pivot into the case. Additionally, flex cuts were added to increase flexibility with the O-ring gasket mount system.

The PCB supports both QMK and VIA by default.
