Cosmos Keyboard Generator

The simplest and most compatible switch socket in Cosmos. Use these to if soldering directly to your MX switches, or if you are using SU120, MxLEDBit, or Cyboard PCBs.

All MX Sockets in Cosmos are compatible

Don't use this. Or do if you know what you're doing.

All MX Sockets in Cosmos are compatible with Cherry MX switches and its clones. That includes Gateron switches (with the exception of low profile),

The only PCB here that stays in without glue or screws. These PCBs twist into their socket.

Plum Twist PCBs are sold from the Cosmos Store and shipped from the US. They are open source too.

All MX Sockets

It's the easiest way to wire your keyboard. Save hours of wiring and soldering and save the frustration with a PCB that gives you hotswap sockets, diodes, RGB LEDs, and flexible connections between every

Flex PCBs eliminate needing to carefully solder wires to every switch, saving you hours of time. These PCBs are sold by TheBigSkree, and the socket in Cosmos has alignment guides designed to line up and

A socket with alignment guides for the open-source Amoeba King PCB. These only work with the Kings, so make sure you have the right PCBs.

This socket integrates a 3D-printed diode and hotswap socket holder. Useful if you have a great 3D printer, want hotswap, but cannot buy PCBs.

This socket integrates a 3D-printed diode and hotswap socket holder, but you print the holders separately! This prints more reliably, but your keyboard is going to come in 20 different pieces. Great if

For if you're feeling frisky and want to try something unusual. There are few Alps switches and clones of Alps switches on the market, but if you find some this socket will be waiting for you.

For the lowest profile boards! This thin socket supports the thin Kailh Choc switches and gives you a low-to-the-ground keyboard. It is meant to be used if you are soldering directly to your switches.

Choc V2 is quite similar to Kailh Choc V1 except for the fact that it uses taller MX-style keycaps instead of the smaller Choc-style keycaps. This socket is dimensionally equivalent to the Choc V1

Uses the Amoeba PCB created for the Hillside Dactyl. Supports hotswap with Mill-Max sockets.

NIZ uses a rubber dome and a spring. Switching is accomplished with a hall-effect switch and a magnet.

A vertical knob that you can tie to volume or navigation keys.

A horizontal knob that sits low to the keyboard. The part is no longer manufactured, so you will have to find a reseller online.

A horizontal knob that sits low to the keyboard. This part is a 3D-printable alternative to the EVQWGD001 that uses more widely available parts. Designed by Taro Hayashi. More info on GitHub.

Move your mouse from your keyboard! Integrating a trackball to your keyboard can help you switch between typing and navigating faster and with less hand movement.

I personally recommend using ball bearings

A large rectangular trackpad that connects through I2C. These support multi-touch gestures (e.g. 2-finger scrolling).

A small circular trackpad. These only support a single touch (no multi-touch gestures), but you can still do a lot with them.

A small joystick from Adafruit for gaming or moving the mouse.

A 5-way switch supporting 4 cardinal directions (no diagonals) and a center click. 3D printable caps are available from the navcaps project.
