The Biba40 is a wireless split ortho keyboard by Dan Biba. A unique personal branding incorporated into the silk screen layer adds a distinctive touch to the PCB.

I present my latest custom keyboard the Biba40. There are a lot of firsts for me on this guy: first custom PCB, first time using ZMK, first wireless board. The layout matches my Planck Light, and will replace it for travel in the future with the added benefits of it being wireless and split – Dan.

Specs

• 48 keys (4x6)
• MX, soldered
• wireless via nice!nano v2
• through-hole diodes
• 3D-printed case
