3W6 RP2040 Split Keyboard Kit

This is the new 3w6 RP2040 version. Instead of the old ATmega32U4, it uses a modern RP2040 32-bit dual ARM microcontroller.

New features:

  • Onboard controller (RP2040) on both sides
  • 4MB (32Mbit) QSPI flash and 264 KB SRAM
  • Full Duplex UART split transport up to 1.5Mb/s
  • Handedness via eeprom (automatic dectect which one is the master side via VBUS detection)
  • 1x Blue user led (GPIO17) and 1x RGB led (WS2812) (GPIO25) on both sides, for layer or caps lock indication
  • ESD protection on all USB-C ports (also on the serial circuit)
  • Optional Pimoroni Trackball on both sides
  • VIAL firmware flashed on both halfs, open VIAL GUI and change the layout as you need

Features:

  • PCB's are completely assembled, only the Choc V1 switches need to be soldered on
  • USB-C connector on master side for computer <-> keyboard connection
  • USB-C to USB-C connection between split keyboard halfs
  • Support for Choc V1 switches (not V2)
  • Choc spacing (keycaps are closer to each other)
  • Low profile and lightweight
  • Aggressive pinky stagger

This split keyboard kit does not support hotswap, no multiple switchtypes, no encoders, no LEDs, no Oled display.

Includes:

  • Left and right keyboard PCB (SMD components already assembled)
  • Top plates (black with silver 3W6 logo, FR4 material)
  • Middle plates (3D printed, black PLA)
  • Bottom Foam (self adhesive) 

You need:

  • 36x Choc V1 switches (no V2)
  • 34x Choc 1U keycaps
  • 2x   Choc 1.5U keycaps
  • USB-C cable
  • Short USB-C to USB-C cable to connect both halfs (15-30cm)
