Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 150K readers.
Max Yakovlev aka themaxbang shared his 42-key split MRIYA, derived from foostan's Corne Cherry v.3.0.1.
Teased earlier under a different name, I love the idea that Max, while living in Russia, chose a Ukrainian name (meaning dream) for his design.
Features
- Hotswap MX
- Design optimized for wireless
- Updated thumb cluster (inspired by jian)
- Reset buttons
- Native nice!view support
- Updated pinky stagger
- No LEDs
- QMK/ZMK support
Possible issues
- Controllers (ProMicro from AliExpress) longer than 35mm will stick out from the cover.
- Required thickness for the bottom FR4 plate at least 1.6mm because of construction specifics (only 4 mounting points)
- Limited keycap compatibility (e.g. MT3 ortho sets) because of the 1.25u thumb keys
