KLOR is a 36-42 key column-staggered split keyboard. It supports a per-key RGB matrix, encoders, OLED displays, haptic feedback, speakers, a Pixart Paw3204 trackball, the SplitKB tenting puck, and four different layouts, through break-off parts.
▲ KLOR polydactyl with 3DP case and DES keycaps.
▲ KLOR saegewerk with stacked acrylic case and GRID keycaps.
Here you can find the KiCad files and Gerbers for the KLOR.
Here are the case files for the KLOR. There is an acrylic case and a 3D printed case (which uses acrylic too) for every layout.
In every case directory you'll find the matching switchplates as .dxf, .svg, .stl, and a .zip-file, containing gerber files for a FR4 plate.
You can use pretty much any knob, which works with the EC11 encoder, but here you can find one, I designed for the KLOR.
Here you can find the build guides for the KLOR.

Thanks to Manna Harbour you can find KLOR in Miryoku ZMK
Sadek Baroudi did an amazing job in creating a version of the KLOR which supports KS-27 and Choc V1 switches. Including a special case for it.

If you build a KLOR I would be pretty happy to see some pictures. And if you want to leave me a tip you can do this here (but please don't feel pressured)
