Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

The first version was featured back in 2021, and V2 has been around for some time as well. A post by chewiedies pointed me to durken's repo so here is pierce 2.0 for history's sake.

pierce 2.0 is a split modular wireless / semi-wireless 36 key column staggered keyboard. The design is inspired by Corne with more pinky stagger as well as only using 1u keycaps – durken1.

I'm not entirely sure about what specs have been updated. You can build a wireless version or a semi wireless version. For the wireless version an additional receiver dongle is required, while in the semi-wireless version the wired half is acting as a receiver for the wireless half.

Accordingly, there are 3 different PCBs in the repo: wireless (reversible), wired (right), and the receiver.

Supported switches are: MX, Choc V1 and Alps.
