Stephan (Rollercole) Møller's Tucky Two Times is a custom low-profile split keyboard supporting hotswap ChocV1 and ChocV2 switches. With a single thumb key per half.
The thumb being the strongest finger is a fallacy. The cool thing about custom keyboards is that you can design the board for your own needs. I tend to get thumb pain from multiple thumb keys, leading me to this design choice deliberately – rollercole.
That said, the thumb position ended up being too tucked in for the author, and there’s also a routing issue — build at your own risk!
Specs
- 30 keys (5x3+1-ish columnar split)
- Choc switches, hotswap
- Pro Micro footprint for the MCU
- encoders on both sides
- running zigmkay firmware
