DynamicWhiteHat aka Ok-Surprise3540 made a Corne-derivative with Supermini NRF52840 controllers. The Corneucopia also features nice!view displays and per-key RGB lights.
I recently designed my first keyboard using KiCad for the PCB and Fusion for the case. I initially made the PCB for a regular keyboard, but I slowly gained a liking for ergo splits, so I designed this […] This was my first time using a mechanical keyboard as well as using a non-traditional layout (ie, split). It was initially meant to be the Corne keyboard with a rotary encoder to make it "custom," but I dropped the idea since it felt unnatural to have a rotary near the thumb cluster – Ok-Surprise3540.
