You can get the PCB from JLC https://github.com/jcmkk3/trochilidae

I’ve also got 3 pcbs left I’d give away for the cost of shipping Australia. Last I checked it was 15 usd to the US

Modded Colemak dh with v z j on combo for the past months. But I am building a zilpzalp soon and took the leap to aptmak this weekend. Only 3 days in though.

Built it, it’s a cheap diy option called the Cheapino https://github.com/tompi/cheapino

Pretty affordable option though at low key count you could likely get a better build for a similar cost. Keycaps are whatever cheap aliexpress I could find hahaha.

Doing it again I’d go for the badwings that Hazel just posted here

Ran out of battery today so central with trackball lasted almost 3 weeks. That’s work and personal use, I work from home so this keyboard does both.

Thank you! Hats off to the designer and community support that made it possible I just assembled. It really is the coolest keyboard I have ever used though

It’s using a low power sensor PMW3610 so not really haven’t had it run out of battery yet to test haha.

There isn’t an offical wireless version, the designer is working on an opensource controller to use instead of nice nanos and waiting for offical ZMK support this is a mod. http://docs.bastardkb.com/help/bluetooth.html

Not a build guide available for this at the moment. I used the offical build guides for the wired version just swapped out the sensor PCB and Holder, using my own slightly modified holder for the nice nanos to move the reset and power to be more reachable.

Yep DES, probably could have titled it better it’s using nice nano v2’s. The pointer support is being worked on zephyr 3.5 being added to ZMK, still in testing but works great. You can read about it more on ZMK’s discord they have a full pointers channel
