Two new CircuitPython boards by u/SouthPawEngineer, called the Caduceus.

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.
