You probably know how this kind of projects usually starts. "Hey, XY would be nice, I bet it'll be a quick and easy project". Then feature creep happens, then you're not satisfied with your work and start from scratch, and 2 years later you're like "why".
This was one of those projects. It is a slim 40%ish column staggered wireless keyboard, using a nRF52840 chip, and Kailh Choc switches. It is as slim as possible with mechanical switches, features months of battery life, and is entirely open source - electronics, case, software. For now it will only have a 3D printed case, but CNC machined aluminum is planned too.
I am typing this on the first prototype while waiting for the updated 3D-prints to arrive, but felt like sharing my work already - hope you will enjoy it!
I like the low profile design but have you considered just splitting the two halves and connecting them via a cable like Kinesis does for their Freestyle2 keyboard?
