Juncho26 (aka juncho0128 ) shared the LP44 Split , a wireless low-profile split keyboard using XIAO controllers and ZMK. Inspired by TOTEM created by GEIGEIGEIST , and delta-omega created by unspecworks .
I do not have much experience with CAD software so I could not really make a case with complex shapes, so I just decided to stick with the all square brutalist look – juncho26.
Features
44 keys (6x3+4-ish split)
Choc v1 or v2 switches , soldered
XIAO nRF52840 controllers
CNC aluminum case, 12 mm thickness
