The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Invalid battery reporting using Supermini nRF52840 and ZMK
Either way, my advice is the same, first checkout this document which has known issues for a bunch of controller alternatives. Next, I'd recommend asking on the zmk discord since the zmk developers hang out there and are pretty active and helpful.

Elite-C header sockets
I'd give this a read. Should tell you everything you need to know.

Build the Kapl
Thank you! I have already connected the nrfmicro wireless controller to this board. It worked great!

Nice!nano
Or this one https://github.com/joric/nrfmicro I made it to my board and works perfectly and it’s relatively easy to build even with just solder iron.

RP2040 based MCU for dactyl in the works
the nrf micro project is open source so you can review the schematic as a starting point https://github.com/joric/nrfmicro

Aloidia v1: fully wireless, solar powered hotswap split keyboard. Hotswap encoders/navigation switch, memory displays, embedded tenting and more
If you can find nrf52 modules where you are then that's a good start, if you're not too scared of DIY intricate soldering then you can use them to build your own NRF micros. Ultimately the controller on these modules is the same as that of a nice!nano and if thus capable of running ZMK alone, there's not really a way as far as I know to pair them with a promicro or blackpill or similar to get a fully wireless solution.
- X-Bows FULLY SPLIT Keyboard is coming soon! Any suggestions?

Finally converted my Humla to use Bluetooth!
I’ve been using a Humla (https://github.com/jimmerricks/humla) that I built (with gChoc switches and MBK Legend keycaps) with my iPad Mini for a while using a USB-C cable, but I finally figured out the firmware (https://github.com/nekoewen/zmk-ewen-humla), so with a little soldering and a lot of flailing with ZMK it’s now wireless!

How to design a keyboard case?
I just built a Humla keyboard (https://github.com/jimmerricks/humla) and currently it has three layers with a top, bottom plate and the PCB (missing the battery at the moment). I wanted to design a bottom case into which I could just drop the keyboard into. I have never done 3D modeling before and wanted to know what would be easiest way I could get into this. I can get access to an Ender S1 3D printer so I was hoping to print it myself.

Humla. It's Swedish for bumblebee.
This board is for choc switches (with 18x17mm spacing) and has basic support for bluetooth pro micro alternatives (such as the nRFMicro used in this build). It is, of course, open source.
What are some alternatives?
