The MPA is a 42-key split keyboard built around Choc V1 switches using Chocfox (CFX) spacing. Wireless via e.g. nice!nano, designed and shared by miwayho/inpudiy.

I made this project in order to maintain Chosfox spacing (17,5x17,5mm). If you use Chosfox keycaps in projects with choc-spacing, you get gaps – miwayho.

The layout and column-stagger was inspired by the Jian keyboard.

Specs

  • 42-key layout
  • low-pro Choc V1 switches
  • Chocfox spacing (17.5 × 17.5 mm), Chosfox CFX keycaps
  • Optimized for wireless: hardware power switch, reset button, battery solder pads, no LEDs, and ZMK firmware
  • Pro Micro footprint (nRFMicro / Super Mini nRF52840 / nice!nano)
  • 3D-printed case
