# Project: Build a split keyboard
|
|
|
|
**⚠ This is still a work-in-progress ⚠**
|
|
|
|
A 56 keys column-staggered fully-wireless split keyboard with scrollwheels.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Choc-spaced, hot-swappable
|
|
- 56 keys (4 thumb keys, 4 key pinky cluster)
|
|
- Scrollwheel (EVQWGD001) on both sides
|
|
- Strong pinky stagger (0.66) and a 5 deg. pinky splay
|
|
- Fully wireless built for Nice!Nano + ZMK (no TRRS Jack)
|
|
- Nice!View support (5 pin connector)
|

| 12 pin headers and sockets | 4 | You can use through-hole diode legs as pins. Sockets spacing: 2.54mm, Socket height: Using minimal height sockets might not leave enough room to mount the battery under the MCU. 3DS1002-01-1*20V13-JK by CONNFLY are a good choice, but you can also use lower ones and longer legs instead. Spiltkb has a good [guide on mounting](https://docs.splitkb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011263059). |

## TODO List
|
|
- [ ] Increase diode-socket distance.
|
|
- [ ] Fix MCU pin labels on right-front (Some are mirrored / not on the correct side of the MCU).
|
|
- [ ] Give this project a **name**.
|
|
- [ ] Design a case.
|
|
- [ ] Use github actions to build + release gerber files. |
