Reeve, who brought us the unibody ‘ākohekohe, shared a new true split keyboard this time. The pueo – named after an owl species endemic to Hawaii – is a 26-key wireless board with reversible PCB.

Inspired by projects like the TOTEM, zilpzalp, berylline, and the aforementioned ʻākohekohe.

Specs

  • 26 keys
  • low-pro Choc, soldered
  • default or minimal Choc spacing
  • nice!nano V2
  • reversible PCB
  • tenting puck support

Pic:

Two versions are available:

  • The default-spacing solder-only version
  • The minimal-choc-spacing solder-only version with the tightest spacing that Choc V1 switches allow for (untested)

Note: You will have to procure min-spacing keycaps. I am not aware of any commercial solution. Recommendation: Philadelphia Minimalist by Pseudoku. There are also currently no 1.5u min-space keycaps, these will need to be generated – Reeve.

V0.2 is coming soon that adds a tri-color LED for caksoylar's zmk-rgbled widget for battery and bluetooth status above the inner index column.
