After his stenoish designs , SouthPawEngineer made two minimalist splits with the Adafruit KB2040 .
There is a 36-key variant that, to connect the two halves, uses the Keeboar's on-board 4-pin JST Qwiic connector with a Qwiic cable.
It is almost as minimal as a keyboard can be - no diodes, and no TRRS connector. With that version, you can solder the switches/sockets and be done with it – SouthPawEngineer .
There's also a second, 34-key variant with a little pinky splay sporting the traditional TRRS connector.
Both run CircuitPython and KMK, which makes changing your keymaps and customizing your keyboard as easy as editing a text file on a USB drive.
