The Wingman is an ultra low-profile unibody split keyboard, shared by eqlair/vuoz, featuring PG1316S switches.

This board can be 100% hand soldered with a normal soldering iron. No hot plate required. The custom footprint makes soldering the switches quite managable, compared to hot plate soldering the switches to smd pads – vuoz.

Only 6 mm thick. 1 mm was sacrificed to add a backplate to cover the backside of the PCB.

Features

  • 42 keys (6x3+3)
  • ULP Kailh PG1316S switches
  • wireless via nice!nano
  • 3D-printed case
  • 6 mm thickness
  • ZMK firmware
