The Jabberwocky is a full-size columnar-staggered Alice-like split, inspired by the Boardrun Bizarre (designed by shensmobile). It utilizes 2x2.25u Shift keys (like a 660) and moves all of the upper nav cluster keys into the function row (similar to an 1800).
PCBs and DIY kits are available for purchase here and discussion on the Jabberwocky can be followed in the NoPunin10Key discord.
In this repository you'll find files you can use to make your own stacked acrylic case. There are versions for the Dexterous (Right-Handed Numpad) and Sinister (Left-Handed Numpad) variants of the Jabberwocky keyboard. In total, your case will be composed of 7 layers.
If you are in the US and do not have access to a laser cutter, I personally recommend P3DStore for custom cutting services. You should be able to upload these files and this readme to specify layers and hardware required. You can also source the hardware separately. P3DStore's in-stock acrylic colors gallery is available to view here.
This open-source case design has NOT been cut/assembled/tested by me. However, several users have successfully completed builds using this case design. If you have your own laser-cutter and cut this design for use, please reach out to me on discord with your feedback (@lukeski14#2711). Once the case designs have been tested, any changes will be made to the files and instructions here, and this disclaimer will be updated with tested configurations.

- 34 × 8mm M2 machine screw

If you are using a daughterboard, there are mounts on the bottom layer and you will need additional hardware:
- 4 x M2 machine screw
- 4 x M2 hex nut

- 1 x dexterous-top2
- 1 x dexterous-top1
- 1 x dexterous-plate
- 3 x dexterous-mid (may only need two if you are surface-mounting your Elite-C)
- 1 x dexterous-bottom
To make a case, you'll need to cut the following layers out of 3mm acrylic or other similar sheet material (wood, etc.)
- 1 x sinister-top2
- 1 x sinister-top1

Use the respective V1 layers in the /v1_dexerous_pcb_ONLY/ or /v1_sinister_pcb_ONLY/ subfolders for compatibility (the layouts are slightly different). You do not need the standard (V2) layers.
