Abeer Vaishnav aka Qbeer shared his Qimera, a 54-key wireless split featuring low-pro Choc switches and nice!nanos.

Hi all, I'm new here, but I'm proud to showcase my recent build of Qimera (pronounced as Chimera, but with a Q!). Spent a lot of time designing this to look as aesthetic and "techy" as possible – Qbeer.

Specs

  • 54 keys (6x4+3)
  • low-profile, Choc, hotswap
  • wireless via nice!nano
  • ZMK firmware

The magsafe mount attached to the laser-cut acrylic case can be used for tenting and clamping the board onto a chair for comfort. The author also built a "Bento box" style travel case for making it compact and easy to travel with.
