Pros

  • Fully split and wireless, with no cable between the halves
  • Custom receiver is aimed at low latency and long battery life; each half runs on a CR2032 cell for a couple of months
  • Keymaps and layers can be customized with QMK
  • Works with both MX-style and low-profile Choc switches

Cons

  • Kit build: diodes and switches must be soldered by the user
  • No Bluetooth, so it only works through the USB receiver
  • Currently sold out, and the shop has paused new orders
