Carl Westman aka Wesztman shared Brain, a 40-key wireless-only split keyboard based on Duckyb/Kyek's Urchin.
Introducing the "Brain" 😄 A 40 key ZMK keyboard based on the Urchin by Kyek! ❤ I loved the Urchin but as a Swede I really wanted to be able to fit in å,ä and ö on the first layer – Wesztman.
Compared to the Urchin, the Brain has 3 extra keys on each side. One extra pinky column with two keys and one extra thumb key. In addition, all 5 pinky keys are placed 2mm lower than the original Urchin keys.
Specs
- 40 hotswap Choc keys
- Wireless only (nice!nano)
- Nice!view support
- Power switch
- 3 thumb keys
