Fellow redditor fmash16 shared his low-pro split keyboard: the SHO has 36 keys and sports XIAO controllers by Seeed.
For the design, I took huge inspiration from the gergoplex which I love the look of. This keyboard uses the Seeeduino Seeed RP2040 as the MCU, which is really great for the price and the small size. Just love how compact it turned out coming from MX boards – fmash16.
Sho (ষ) by the way is simply a letter in Bangla, the author's native language.

- 36 keys (5x3+3)
- XIAO RP2040 / BLE controller for wired/wireless versions
- Reversible PCB
