OrangeCrusader aka JonMuller posted his Choc-spaced Corne which, according to the silk screen, goes by the name Abomination.

This particular version of foostan's original Corne sports XIAO BLE devboards and nice!views.

This is a choc spaced corne board with XIAO BLE controllers and nice!view displays. I’m using joycon batteries to power it because I like their capacity (around 500 mAh) and they use a slim connector – Jon.

The controllers are directly mounted to the board for a slimmer profile, plus the PCB has holes for access to the pads on the bottom for the battery. The additional NFC pads were used as GPIO for the last column (removed for personal preference).

Specs

  • 36 keys (5x3+3 layout)
  • hotswap (only)
  • reversible PCB
  • XIAO footprint
  • power switches
  • nice!view displays
