The 2Pocket is a 36 + 2 keyboard with hotswap Choc v1 switches, running wirelessly with KMK/ZMK. Designed by ParksDevelopment aka JCam599, this was a submission to Chris Lo's pocket keyboard desing contest.

I entered the Pocket keyboard contest put on by sporewoh a couple months back with the 2Pocket. Its ended up getting a runner up spot which I was pretty happy about and thought I would share – JCam599.

The theme of the contest was keyboards that fit in your pocket so the author threw in a barebones pedometer as well for counting steps while it is in your pocket.

The two halves magnetically connect for transport.
