What is sweep?

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.

What are the different types?

Device On/Off Switch[1] Reversible PCB[2] Choc V1 Choc V2 Choc Mini MX & Alps Choc Spacing[3] Tenting[4] Hot Swap
Sweep2.x Mill-Max (optional)
Sweep Bling LP Kailh (required)
Sweep Bling MX
[5]
Kailh (required)
Sweep High
Sweep Half Swept
Sweep Compact Low

Note: All versions support bluetooth with Nice!Nano

[1] An on/off switch is recommended for bluetooth builds.
[2] With a reversible PCB it's easier to make mistakes during assembly, but it allows you to purchase less boards.
[3] 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)
[4] Supports splitkb's tenting puck.
[5] 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.
