3W6

The 3w6 is a low profile, split ortholinear keyboard with 36 keys.
I needed a keyboard for work and wasn't really satisfied with the available alternatives (namely Corne, Kyria and Ferris), mostly because they are either rather large and/or don't have the spacing I would like.
The 3w6 is designed to be a simple, realiable, cheap and small keyboard to be taken everywhere.
There are currently two revisions:
- Rev1:
- onboard microcontroller (ATMega32U4)
- USB-C connector Board <-> PC
- USB-C connectors between both split halfs
- choc spacing (18x17mm)
- aggressive pinky stagger
- support for Choc V1 switches
- Rev2:
- everything Rev1 did
- additional middle plate (2mm)
- support for Pimoroni Trackball instead of outer thumb switch on right half, needs midplate
- mounting holes for Tenting Puck, only usable without mid or switchplate
- Keyboard Maintainer: weteor
- Hardware Supported:
- 3w6 rev1
- 3w6 rev2 (with Pimoroni support)
- Hardware Availability:
- make one yourself: Design and Productionfiles
- maintainer is selling kits when available

To reach the bootloader, connect the board to the PC and push the reset button on left half.
