Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

FrictioN released his modified version of the Corne v3 keyboard, originally designed by foostan.

I took the inspiration from Jon808517's choc-corne-xiao. Both halves are powered by Xiao BLE and are running ZMK firmware. This is also my first 40s keyboard. I was using Sofle as my primary keyboard but now I am in love with this little guy – FrictioN.

Specs

  • 42 keys (6x3+3)
  • MX, hotswap (only)
  • Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 controllers
  • support for rotary encoder on each half
  • support for nice!view (untested)
  • power button and JST header to plug 3.7v lipo battery

Due to limited space, you can use either an OLED or an encoder.
