Ergonomic mechanical compact low profile keyboard.

Keyboard contours are similar to what you may see in Dactyl-Manuform 3D-printed boards or Kinesis models with their nice key wells.
My key layout eliminates the need in tenting and tilting.
That reduces issues with fingers bent sideways (thus making it much better than DM or Kinesis in my opinion.)
The whole idea of this board is to make the keyboard usage as simple and as painless as possible.

This board version accepts Kailh Choc switches only.
Hot-swap sockets are installed.
Keys are located closely to each other, the gap between the rows and columns is minimal.


Boards are soldered, flashed with a QMK Planck-based firmware and tested.

Now I have two choices of switches - Kailh Choc Blue (25gf) and Kailh Choc Red (50gf)
Both are silent linear (i.e. no clicks or bumps, the only difference is the activation force and the care color.)
You can buy the board without switches for a reduced price, and use your own.
By default I will install the Choc Blue switches, please tell me if you want Red ones (I have limited stock of them.)

Three versions of the board available (notice they have different PCB color):

- Atmega32u4 soldered on Green PCB with Micro USB connector.

- ProMicro (drop-in on a panel) with USB-C connector, Green PCB.
You may make it wireless/bluetooth by replacing the MCU some other compatible unit, e.g. nice!nano v2
The MCU replaceability is one of the biggest benefit of this version.
The other feature is the VIA/Remap support (which has to be added to other versions yet.)
(I tried it with regular ProMicro and nice!nano v2 MCUs.
This version got soldering pins for the battery and hardware switch to turn the battery power off.
ZMK firmware for nice!nano is here: https://github.com/ak66666/zmk-config/tree/master, it supports the mousekeys, so it can be used alone without a mouse.)

- Raspberry Pi RP2040 soldered on PCB with Micro USB connector, Blue PCB.
This version is the newest one, got more memory.
NOTE: VIA/REMAP is not supported with RP2040 version, do not turn on it in QMK, that may/will brick the keyboard!


Functionally those boards are the same.
All of them are compatible with Cirque Glidepoint trackpad, it would go under the top plate, there is a place for the socket which I can install should ask me to.

An appropriate cable is included.

Default keyboard layout includes
- regular QWERTY layer
- numbers and F1-F13
- text navigation, mouse control and and text editing layer.
- extra keys (parenthesis, brackets, all those keys that are usually on the right side of the usual QWERTY keyboard.)
Those layers let me use the keyboard without taking my hands off it.
Video shows me using v1 version of this board.

There are layers for stenography with Plover (TX-Bolt and QWERTY modes supported with number on either top or bottom rows.)
Again, that provides an option to use single keyboard for the regular typing and practice stenography.
Light-acting switches help with that too.


Board uses QMK software and it is fully programmable.
Source code for the software is provided with purchase.

If you plan to use Cirque Glidepoint Trackpad, let me know, I will solder a socket for the flat cable (provided I have them in stock.)
For the ProMicro version, if you plan to use nice!nano, let me know, I will install a hardware power switch (provided I have them in stock.)
