Stephan (Rollercole) Møller is back after his Mike Typeson, this time with a true split prototype: the Clacky Chan running his own zigmkay firmware.

I just finished my most recent prototype which is named Clacky Chan. He is the successor of my previous keyboard, Mike Typeson, which was a unibody. […] PCB's for each half and wire-attached thumb keys as I want the thumbs to be tented just slightly on relation to the finger area – Stephan.

Features

  • 30 keys (5x3-ish + 1 thumb key)
  • MX switches, hotswap
  • RP2040 Pro Micro controller
  • reversible PCB
  • diodeless design
  • custom firmware (zigmkay)
