Jumper wire fix for using 2x1.5u keys on left thumbs is no longer needed for these Rev. 1.1 PCBs.

This keyboard uses the popular open-source QMK Firmware with VIA enabled out of the box to allow you to remap all the keys just the way you want them.

Plug your keyboard in, open up the VIA app, and easily change what each key does to get the most out of your keyboard with your customizations! More info on what you can do here: VIA Usage Guide

Default Keymapping

The default keymapping that the board is pre-programmed with can be found here: Default Keymaps. The keymap can be changed in the QMK Configurator.

Friggin legendary, super fun to set up and type on

Love this thing.

I actually selected it based on the price but it turns out this keyboard brings unique features to the world of mechanical keyboards and I couldn't be happier with it.

I paired it with a standard set of keycaps (mystery set from cannon keys) and asked Keeb.io to let me order switches separately. Super nice of them to be flexible on that! I went with Haimu Whisper Tactiles and am in love with the build.

This was my first time soldering a keyboard from PCB and I was surprised at how easy and fun it was to put together.

I am also extremely happy with the dead-simple programmability of each individual keys, and the built-in LED underglow doesn't hurt either.

Very fun keyboard to type on! Highly recommendedd especially to the budget conscious. I'm racking my brains to figure out why this is cheaper than other split keyboards. Beats me!

So fun to type on, and the ortho layout only took me a couple of days to adjust to, having never used one before.

I enthusiastically recommend this keyboard, well done by Keebio!
