Pumpkin Patch PCB (Choc)

To be notified when more Pumpkin Patches are in stock, sign up for the Restock Mailing List or the Cosmos Discord.

These Choc Pumpkin Patches are currently v1.2. The only difference between these and the v1.3 MX pumpkin patches, besides the obvious fact that these are for Choc switches whereas the others are for MX switches, is that the traces are a little thinner, so your RGB won't go quite as bright. We're talking about 5% brightness difference here. Anyways, no, these chocolate pumpkins are not edible.

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 key. Compared to even the Plum Twists, the Pumpkins are a giant step up in terms of speed and accessibility.

More info on the landing page and the documentation. The Pumpkin Patch PCB plugs directly into Lemon Microcontrollers, so I recommend you buy them together for the easiest wiring. You can alternatively connect them to any microcontroller with a Skree Translator. They only support Choc Switches (both v1 and v2).

You will need one Pumpkin Patch per microcontroller. As shown in the docs you will need to solder one jumper per column you cut so that the LEDs are routed correctly. If you don't have a soldering iron, email me your configuration URL and order number after placing your order and I will solder them for you according to how the fit checking site shows.

A choc pumpkin thumbs PCB is in the works. Until then, for many keyboards the Pumpkin Patch will cover everything, including the thumb cluster! Check the handy fit checking site to see if the PCB will cover everything in your custom keyboard.

I currently sell these in one variant with RGB LEDs, diodes, and hotswap sockets. If you don't want to use the LEDs, you don't have to use them :) The Lemon microcontrollers have built-in relays to shut off LED power when they aren't used.
