Pros

  • Diodes and hotswap sockets come pre-soldered; only the microcontrollers need soldering
  • 65% layout keeps dedicated arrow keys
  • The halves connect with USB-C instead of TRRS
  • QMK with VIA for key remapping; ZMK works with an nRF52840 controller

Cons

  • Requires self-assembly, including microcontroller soldering
  • Controllers, switches, keycaps, and tenting stands are separate options
  • 3D-printed PETG case
