These are the main features of the PicoSplit:
- 3D-printable with common FDM printers.
- Its shape is inspired by the Dactyl keyboard.
- Allows you to keep your hands natural and relaxed, even after hours of typing.
- Interchangeable wrist rests that magnetically dock to the keyboard.
- Adjustable distance between keyboard and wrist rests.
- Keyboard and wrist rests can be magnetically attached to a surface.
- Keyboard halves snap together for transport.
- Switches and keycaps are interchangeable.
- The PicoSplit keyboard firmware is open source and based on CircuitPython.
- Readable configuration file format.
- Easily modifiable with some Python knowledge.
- Time-saving system for wiring the switches without having to use diodes.
- No need to install any other software on your computer.
- A simple text editor is all you need to modify the keyboard layout.
- A layout that reduces finger travel a lot is already included. It is inspired by the Miryoku layout.
- The Raspberry Pi Pico can be replaced by something else thanks to slide-in modules.
