The NostrumX by Bennytrouser is a 32-key split keyboard with some splay, using Seeed Xiao BLEs.
This is my new board, based off my other board, the Nostrum, but this one is using a Seeed Xiao BLE instead of a Nice!Nano. Designed to be used with a case only, with the batteries under the PCB – Benny.
Features
