Sweep is a version of the more fabulous Ferris by Pierre Chevalier that uses a daughter board like a promicro, elite-c, bit-c, nice!nano etc. instead of using onboard components.

[1] It simply means that it supports the nice!nano. An on/off switch is recommended for bluetooth
[2] Choc spaced boards have the switches in a tighter grid. This provides a better final look but is only compatible with some choc keycaps (e.g. MBK)
[3] Supports splitkb's tenting puck
[4] MX + kailh hotswap ONLY. Alps are NOT supported
- Sweep2 - Recommended Choc v1 board with all the features.
- Sweep Bling MX - An MX only Sweep that features Kailh's hotswap sockets and a stacked case.
- Sweep High - Same as the Sweep2 but trades choc spacing for compatibility with more switches and keycaps.
- Sweep Half Swept - Half of a Sweep2 with double pro-micro footprint (letting you avoid having one daughter-board flipped upside-down)
- Sweep Compact Low - The only version that supports Choc minis.
To build and use a Sweep you will need:
- 1x PCB Kit
- 2x promicro compatible boards or 2 nice!nanos.
- 34 switches of a compatible type (refer to the compatibility table)
- 34 keycaps
- 2x reset switches (optional; B3U-1000P(M))
- Some little rubber feet/bumpers
- 2x power switches (optional if supported; MSK 12C02)
- 1x TRRS (not TRS!) cable (wired build only)
- 2x TRRS Jack [PJ-320A] (wired build only)
- 1 USB Cable (depends on your micro-controller choice)
The firmware can be found with the Ferris firmware as part of QMK.
Firmware for zmk and bluemicro_ble is called "Cradio".
