The 1984, a 36-key ortholinear wireless split featuring the Holyiot 21069 (nrf5340) controller, was created and shared by Dilshod Temirkhodjaev.
Six months ago I built a new split keyboard using the Holyiot 21069 (nrf5340) controller. I've been using it for work for 8 hours a day. I never turn it off, it just goes into deep sleep mode, consuming less than 1uA. With 130mAh batteries, I charge the left side once every 3.5 months, while the right side has only been charged once, when I built it – Dilshod.
Specs
- 36 keys (3x5+3)
- low-pro Choc, hotswap
- wireless via Holyiot 21069 (nrf5340) controller
