SfBattleBeagle aka zackattack2130 released the Phanny, a true split keyboard with splay – wireless via nice!nano clones.

This is Phanny, my custom 52 key, wireless, split, ortho, staggered column, with a splay that I designed from the ground up – SfBattleBeagle.

  • 52 keys (6x4+3-ish)
  • MX switches, soldered
  • splay
  • nice!nano or compatible controllers
