Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.
The Ursula by jamesmnw is a versatile split keyboard "designed to meet a wide variety of needs". With nrf52840 microcontrollers, light, linear, low profile switches and a compact but sturdy case, this Ursula makes for a great travel board.
It has existed for well over a year in one form or another, but I have been a bit reluctant to advertise it widely – jamesmnw.
According to James, the design has "a ridiculous thumb fan. 5 keys."
You can put encoders on the innermost tuckie or above the home thumb (or both with the right microcontroller).
