Nijuni by krikun98

The Nijuni (formerly known as the RT-22) is a 44-key split keyboard inspired by the Jian (stagger, pinky and controller footprint) and the Jorne (thumb cluster and wiring).

It was originally conceived by DwarZ, however, V0.1 had a screw placement issue that restricted it to Kailh BOX-style switches. V0.2 is trouble-free, and prototypes have already been tested.

Features
* Wireless focus - battery footprint, power switches and no LEDs in sight
* Uses Jorne firmware - so QMK and ZMK support
* MX or Alps soldered or MX hotswap support in a single reversible PCB
* 6 column version also available for 100x150 PCB promos.

Pierce v2 by durken1

pierce 2.0 is a split modular wireless / semi-wireless 36 key column staggered keyboard. The design is inspired by Corne with more pinky stagger as well as only using 1u keycaps. It is possible to build a wireless version or a semi wireless version. If building the wireless version an additional reciever dongle is required. In the semi wireless version the wired half is also acting as a reciever for the wireless half. Both versions have full QMK support.

The semi wireless version has a built in reset circuit for connecting a PS/2 pointing device.

There are 3 different PCBs: wireless (reversible), wired (right) and reciever.

Porcupine by anarion80

Porcupine is an autogenerated, ergonomic, split, 36-42 key, wired/wireless, columnar-staggered keyboard. It is designed to fit my needs and my hand, but it can be easily updated thanks to declarative design. It uses a ProMicro-compatible MCU board and supports both QMK and ZMK firmwares.

Features
* Autogenerated - PCB layout is declared using YAML config files and generated into PCB files using Ergogen tool (migrated to V4). Use my fork of it for added footprints.
* 3 variants (5x3+3; 5x3+4; 6x3+4)
* Wired or wireless
* Low-profile (using Kailh Choc switches)
* Reversible PCB (save cost in production)
* Pro-micro/Elite C/Proton C/nice!nano support
* Hot-Swap support
* SplitKB Tenting puck support.
* Uses KiKit to render PCB previews (see below)
* Uses KiBot to run DRC, create Gerber and Drill files for production (and Interactive BOM and 3d renders just for fun)

Oddball by atulloh

The Oddball is a split mechanical keyboard with an integrated trackball. While drawing inspiration from things like the Jian and the Dactyl Manuform, it is instead designed with a switch plate and PCB to give it durability, replicability, and a more utilitarian look. It has a relatively minimal key layout, typically with 39 keys in total. The PCB is reversible so it can be built with 0, 1 or theoretically 2 trackballs. Due to the height and angle of the optical sensor, and as an ergonomic bonus, it requires a tented case.

Features
* Split design
* 39 keys
* Trackball
* Dynamic CPI (trackball cursor speed)
* 5° typing angle
* 8.5° tenting angle
* Angled thumb clusters
* QMK firmware
