Split 42-key Kailh Choc V1 keyboard. Two Pro Micro (atmega32u4) halves over TRRS serial.

Original single-sided design. Worked well as a left half. No dedicated right PCB.

Intended to be a proper left + right pair. Due to a mirroring error in KiCad the "right" PCB was generated with all components on the wrong copper layers, making it effectively a second left. This version went into production — many copies exist.
