Zexx37 aka ezxzeng created this open-source split keyboard. It's more like a 5x3 Corne than a Sweep layout-wise, but it's a nice project anyway.

I probably should've come up with a better name. Kept the name mostly because the key routing is the same, so you can use the same qmk or zmk configs from swweeep (or sweep for wired version) – Zexx37.

Features

  • 36 keys (5x3+3)
  • hotswap MX/Choc/Gateron low-profile switch support
  • reversible PCB
  • 100x100mm PCB for cheap manufacturing
  • diodeless design

Can be built both as wired and wireless while maintaining diodeless design. Created via ergogen.
