PicaChoc36 - low profile split for short pinkies
The rest is pretty simple - XIAO controllers, wired/wireless support, 1 rotary encoder, reversible PCB, TRRS or USB-C connection. Very low profile - no bottom plate, no hotswap. Thick top plate so switches are soldered almost flush with the PCB (thanks 3w6 for inspiration). Knob for the low profile encoder is taken from KLOTZ by u/_GEIST_. Unfortunately it was a bit too wide so I had to sand down couple of mms.

Better, best, besterest...
For what it's worth, I'm on a 3w6. Shout out to weteor for the inspiration for this one.

corne vs ferris sweep for portable programming board
As 2 corne and 1 sweep owner , i can tell you also have the 3rd option if you are fine with choc switches and live in Europe 3w6. https://github.com/weteor/3W6 It has a middle layer and on board mcu, an completely enclosed. I have no worries when I put it to my backpack;)

What keyboards do you want to see next in my store!
So, purely out of my own needs, and since the Sweep doesn't quite cover that, I'd love a 3W6 or a Roost. Or even a Rae-dux.

Does anyone other than keeb.io do split keyboards using usb? Rather not use trrs if possible
There is the Weteor 3w6

GergoPlex - something similar?
Checkout the 3w6, which is a 3x5+3 split i.e. the same amount of keys as the GergoPlex. You can print the PCB with SMT assembly done for you, so all that's left is to solder on your choice of switches. JCLPCB just happened to have all the components available and in the [github repo](https://github.com/weteor/3W6) there are some discussion/instructions on ordering from them. A slight issue is that you get at least 5 sets of PCBs and at least 2 with full SMT assembly, so you may want to sell the extras on the mech marketplace.

New keyboard day! Chocofi with nice!nano’s
I believe this build requires diodes as the last pin from the n!n that would allow for diodeless seems to be taken up by the trrs connector. You would be looking for wireless-only PCBs like the rae-dux (though the design hasn't been tested yet; PCBs are still on their way to the creator) or the Roost
