Hi All,

Here’s ht latest update to the Rolio split keyboard. It’s now almost done, it just needs some minor cosmetic and manufacturability tweaks.

The GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/MickiusMousius/RolioKeyboard

A quick run down on the features (so far):

  • The keyboard itself
    • Fully wireless thanks to the Nice!Nano controllers and awesome ZMK firmware
    • Excellent battery life, I’ve personally been getting 2+ weeks before it gets to 60% with the previous iteration.
    • A low profile, compact choc spaced form factor that is similar to the Corne
    • Additional “Sometimes” buttons on the bottom row just like the Sofle
    • Horizontal roller encoders on both halves
    • A backlight that is efficient enough to be used on battery
    • A robust chassis so that it can be treated like a normal keyboard
    • An FDM version for at home low cost production
    • A CNC option for a slick look and very premium feel
    • A travel case that can easily be made using any FDM printer
  • ZMK Keymap & Custom keycaps:
    • The keycaps are fully customized and match the ZMK keymap thanks to FKCaps
    • MacOS and Windows modes as part of the keymap to keep the “same” handy macros in both OSs
    • All of the symbols and special behaviors can be accessed using at most two keys
    • The settings keys and different modes are documented in the key caps themselves (easy to learn).
    • The keymap can be easily customized thanks to ZMK, the keycaps can also be customized to suit your needs
