From the project

An open-source, split, wireless ergonomic keyboard with trackpad and encoder

Daedalus is a compact open-source, split, wireless ergonomic keyboard with trackpad and encoder.

It's a 36 key low-profile, split, wireless, ergonomic keyboard that includes a trackpad and a rotary encoder powered with ZMK on 2 Nice!Nano microcontrollers running on 2 110mAh batteries. It features a key splay inspired from the TOTEM, and a key layout modelled after my hand and inspired by the Corne. It's meant to be portable, silent and unobstrusive thanks to the Ambient Twighlight silent switches and the wireless connectivity.
