Alias is a monoblock split, designed and shared by dohn-joh after his previous true split project, the Leveret – with the hallmark thumb lever keycaps but also a dongle this time.
the dongle […] is plug and play wireless. I'm not sure if there's official zmk documentation for dongle mode yet, but if you poke around on the zmk discord there's a lot of helpful info there. I'll eventually push my zmk module to github so others can copy the relevant lines – dohn-joh.
The keycaps are based on Pseudoku's DES but are lower profile.
Specs
- 36 keys (5x3+3)
- Choc v1 and v2 compatible, hotswap
- custom 3D printed keycaps (low-pro DES variant)
- lever keycaps
- splay
- wireless dongle
