Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.
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.
