TOTEM is a 38-key column-staggered low-profile split keyboard by _GEIST_ . Both wired and wireless versions use Seeed XIAO controllers.
This it the TOTEM, my entry for the SEEED Fusion keyboard contest. It works wired with the XIAO RP2040 using QMK or wireless with the XIAO BLE using ZMK – _GEIST_.
