Optical keyboards are still around (although rare) and usually use some variation of Cherry MC style switches without contact pins. Newer tech also consists of magnetic designs (ha…

The board runs ZMK, which handles layers quite similarly to QMK/VIA. Whether you can bind dedicated layers to output profiles for automated switching in ZMK I do not know, but togg…

Thanks! This was by far my most advanced PCB design so far - lots of reading and research involved. Pretty proud it worked at first try.

There's quite a lot of choice for split keyboards out there - one of my favorites being the Corneish Zen by lowprokb - just two small boards, wireless interconnect. I made it a uni…

You probably know how this kind of projects usually starts. "Hey, XY would be nice, I bet it'll be a quick and easy project". Then feature creep happens, then you're not satisfied …

Some wifi/ble modules come pre-certified. The holyiot 18010 (nRF52840) on the prototype comes with FCC/RoHS certs from the factory, so at least the Bluetooth part is "guaranteed" t…

I think that's mostly a "I tested it with these OS so I can guarantee it works" thing - ZMK should work with pretty much anything out there as long as it can do HID over Bluetooth.…

2. This one is basically limited by what a 3 position slider (usb/bt1/bt2) can do, the firmware could do up to 5. We could offer an alternative firmware where the slider can do bt1…

Only thing I can imagine - super hard to find keycaps.

Sure thing. We'll release the original firmware configuration alongside with the board, so changing the keymap and recompiling a new firmware wouldn't be a big deal, flashing is ea…

Depends a lot. If you want it fully assembled, you have to go to larger fab houses like PCBway, and spend a few hundred bucks on a 5pc batch. If you can hand-solder some parts (in …

It's running open source ZMK firmware, which has no problems connecting to Linux devices, and if I remember correctly the "base keymap" features will all work cross-OS, and can be …

Encoders are pretty nice for volume and screen brightness, and if you are working with some specific software you could in theory remap them to other random stuff like scroll throu…

With ZMK firmware (that's what this board is running) latency can be seriously low in my experience - but it heavily depends on signal strength and BT chipset of the PC. My desktop…

I'm not a member of the team, but was contracted for the PCB design as an external freelancer - I have one of the PCB prototypes sitting in a shelf, and the designer has a fully fu…

I am the person who designed the PCB for the current prototype. It's running the open source ZMK firmware, and that one works flawlessly on Linux. I had a prototype connected to my…

PCB designer of the board here - The second switch can toggle USB/Bluetooth profile 1/Bluetooth profile 2 (3 pos slider), but the board runs the open source ZMK firmware and you ca…
