My brain can't make low-keycount boards work, personally. Ended up designing a 64-key one with displays: https://github.com/tzarc/keyboards/tree/main/Djinn -- can't see myself going any fewer t

https://wiki.ai03.com/ is what a lot of people use. Though it's probably easier nowadays to use an RP2040-based ProMicro form factor daughterboard so you only need to handle key placement. Firmware... QMK: https:&#x2F

As one of the QMK Firmware maintainers, it's great to see you're going ahead with the customisable side of things even on the input side. Might I suggest engaging with QMK early so that we can avoid the usual manufacturer "he

None that I'm aware of. And I don't plan on running one of my own -- too many other things going on. That said, I ended up creating a Discord months ago after a whole bunch of people were going to run their own GB, needed a place

Not really; it's a case of soldering on the parts as per the iBOM: https://github.com/tzarc/djinn/blob/main/Rev2a/bom/ibom.html Only a couple of parts are actually dependent on the side yo

I assembled mine by hand. I'm not sure a lot of PCB assembly houses would like reversible PCBs.

At the moment I'd advise against it somewhat -- the silicon shortages have basically made the MCU and a couple of other parts unobtainable. That said, I got mine from everyone's favourite PCB manufacturer: JLCPCB. All the parts ca

Full disclosure: I started my foray into split keyboards with an Iris. ...but it didn't have all the keys I wanted, thus the Djinn.

In a week or so, QMK will pick up a whole bunch of new support for pointing devices -- Djinn's open-source, so if you're keen you can swap a display out for a Cirque touchpad for instance.

Right now, none really -- it's a hardware enablement testbed, and really only shows a handful of information, such as Caps/Num/Scroll and what layer you're using. With QMK we get a lot of requests for "how do I disp

QMK requires a RESET keycode to be added to your keymap in order to reboot into firmware update mode while it's running. Alternatively, depending on the configured options at compile-time, you can either hold ESC as you plug it in, or
