Cormoran's DYA Dash is a low-profile (Choc V2) wireless split with some really cool features: semi-staggering, touch sensors, trackball, etc. (Yuburoll's modubu was inspired by this layout: mixed ortho and horizontal staggered bottom row.)

4x2 LEDs indicates battery level, connected BLE/USB profiles and active layers depending on the setting. The schematic and firmware driver is optimized for battery usage. LED modules consume power only when required – cormoran.

Touch sensors help switching between trackball pointer/scrolling modes (video demo). Double-trackball supported.
