¶ Le Chiffre
Le Chiffre is a 30% columnar stagger board designed by tominabox1. It is a unibody split design, and open sourced including all KiCad files.
¶ Overview
A KLE of the Le Chiffre is available here. You can optionally install an OLED in the middle, and the middle key can be replaced with a rotary encoder. You can also choose not to install anything in the middle, and leave it plain.
¶ Le Capybara
An electrocapacitive (topre) version of Le chiffre exists, called Le Capybara. The capybara PCB natively supports 35 and 36-key layouts (splitting the 2u spacebars) and requires all of the associated Topre hardware. There is currently no reliable location to source a capybara PCB and plate.

¶ Private Buys
There was a small group buy run by Taco, which enabled a select few to get the board. dezli also had 5 produced by JLCPCB and sold the extras. These buys are enabled by the open source files.
¶ P3D Store Groupbuy[1]
P3D Store ran a group buy from December 21st 2020 until January first 2021. Alongside the P3D group buy, 3D printed PLA cases and lasercut acrylic cases were offered, and extras such aa a knob and OLED. The group buy, as of writing, is complete.
P3D Store also sold both Le Chiffre PCBs individually and together for a time but has stopped selling them as of July 31, 2023 due to most of P3D's shop closing down.
