Skean v.0.2 by krikun98
The Skean is a 44-key split keyboard inspired by the Jian (stagger, pinky and controller footprint) and the Corne (thumb cluster). The module placement was inspired by pashutk's kbd533 project.
Features
* Wireless with a built-in E73 module
* ZMK support (currently via a config repo)
* Fuses and ESD protection
* MX or Alps compatibility
* Meant for 233350 310 mAh batteries
* Math-generated silkscreens on some case/plate versions
* 6 column version also available for 100x150 PCB promos

Slice36 by MReavley
36 key ergo split keyboard, designed around the Seeeduino Xiao platform. Inspired by the Corne, Ferris, Ben Vallack's videos and countless hours of perusing reddit and kbd.news, but ultimately this has been done up from scratch largely as an exercise for myself. The layout was generated through experimentation with scale drawings on my ipad, although emphasis has been placed on aesthetics and compactness.
Features
* MX Spacing
* Reversible PCB, designed around 0805 smd components to be hand-solderable or using an assembly service.
* Built around the Seeeduino Xiao RP2040 (hooray USB-C)
* Using KMK firmware
* Laser cut aluminium plate, secured by the soldered in switches for clean look without fasteners

Cantor by diepala
The Cantor keyboard is a 42 key diodeless split keyboard, designed with simplicity in mind. It is inspired on the popular corne, ferris and sweep keyboards, aiming to provide a more ergonomic (stronger column stagger) corne-like layout with a simple, easy to assemble and cheap design.
The Cantor is designed with the following goals:
* Comfort
* Powerful
* Low cost
* Simplicity
* Ease of build
* USB-C
* No diodes
The PCB is reversible to reduce manufacturing costs.

The Flea by jimmerricks
This is the latest of my Bugs: the Flea. The splay is a little different from the Midge and the Mosquito, with none between the index and middle finger and an extra 5 degrees between the ring and pinkie. This pushes the pinkie out a little bit while also pulling the thumb in. The thumb cluster has a slightly inverted splay to match. My main inspiration for this design is the Hypergolic.

Rae-dux by andrewjrae
The rae-dux is a 36-key (diodeless!), wireless keyboard inspired by the Architeuthis Dux. This project used to use the samoklava workflow, however the auto-router had troubles with the splay, currently I just use the image generating parts of the samoklava workflow.

Piantor by beekeeb
The keyboard name Piantor (Pi-antor) is the portmanteau of "Pico" and "Cantor". As the name suggested, it has the same strong column stagger layout as the Cantor Keyboard created by u/diepala and is powered by Rasyberry Pi Pico or other compatible RP2040 boards (e.g. WeAct RP2040).
Features
* RP2040 MCU: Low cost yet powerful microcontroller. You can enable a lot of features and layers without worrying about the firmware size limit. Rasyberry Pi Pico is reliable and easy to source too.
* Breakable pinky column: Easily convert the PCB from a 42-key to 36-key layout
* Hotswap (Kailh Choc v1 Hotswap Sockets) or soldered-in low profile choc switches: Experiment with different key switches with the hotswap sockets, or solder the key switches for a more stable build.
* Cantor layout - Ergonomic strong column staggering for short pinkies.
* Diodeless - A more robust build with fewer things to solder or break.

Avalanche by vlkv
The Avalanche keyboard is an ergonomic split keyboard with 4x6 (or 3x6 if you break off the 'digits' row) column staggered keys, 5 thumb keys, 1 additional key for the pinky (break off-able too) and 2 additional keys for the index finger (64 keys total).

Draculad by MangoIV
QMK-powered 34-36 key split keyboard
Features
* 36 keys, two of them can be replaced by rotary encoders making it support 34-36 keys and 2-4 encoders.
* Bright RGB Underglow with WS2812b LEDs
* One SSD1306 OLED per side
* Support for the pimoroni trackball
powered by QMK-firmware (Firmware has been merged and can be found on the QMK master)
* Aggressive pinky stagger similar to the Kyria but with a slightly alternative thumb cluster to raise comfort for large hands
* Support for MX and Kailh choc v1 switches
* Files for fr4 plate and acrylic bottom plate as well as OLED window

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.
