Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.

The Smiler18 is a custom minimal unibody keyboard, designed by weykn/vswey.

This is my 18-key keyboard, I'm using a One-Shot-Layer as second Alpha. After 5 days of practice I'm getting a WPM of 30-45, I used QWERTY before – vswey.

The design was inspired by Ben Vallack's 16-key layout.

Specs

  • 18 keys
  • low-pro Choc, hotswap
  • RP2040 Zero
  • Vial or QMK firmware
