Max aka axseem posted his Anywhy Flake, a 46-key ergo split with a clean and simple design without any gimmicks. In addition, it's relatively low profile thanks to the mid-mount controller.
I've come up with a PCB design that allows to make a very thin keyboard using regular Pro Micro compatible controllers. It's essentially a mid-mount placing, but for a controller – axseem.
The Anywhy Flake has USB-C for wired connection between the halves, supports MX and Choc V1/V2 switches, and there's also an S variant (without the outer columns) with 40 keys instead of the default 46.
Specs
- 40/46 keys (5 or 6 columns)
- MX and Choc support
- hotswap
- Pro Micro footprint
- wireless support
