It’s not done yet, but I figured I’d show off a little bit since I have been using this for a few weeks now. This is the “swirl”. It’s heavily inspired by the helix with some notable changes:

  • mbk Choc Spacing (Dimensions are about 12.5cm x 8.5cm on either half)
  • Reversible roller encoders on the top inner switch

      Because then things like holding shift on one half and a letter on the other wouldn’t work.

        if those issues could be solved by software drivers would the cord free aesthetic be preferred?

          In a perfect world, yeah totally. I could use controllers that are approximately twice the price (nice!nanos) and have to rewrite the firmware (qmk -> zmk) and deal with Bluetooth, or I could just use wires and have it “just work™”. I personally prefer this, but tons of people go the wireless route.
