From the project
34 key unibody split with splay and spaced out thumbs
koepckeae is a 34-key unibody split keyboard higihly inspired by Pete Johanson's Zaphod Lite, featuring hotswap support, splay, and spaced out thumbs.
Max battery dimensions are 29mm x 21mm x 8mm. Ideally get a battery with JST connector but double check polarity on PCB.
