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.

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?

Need help with Split keyboard. LEDs not working
Hi, I am building a split keyboard from keyzog keyzog/kapl. I ordered an Elite C micro-controller to make it work. I’ve been soldering the LEDs (SK6812 MINI-E) and Diode on the left part and flashed the firmware on the controller (Firmware from QMK).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nrfmicro and kapl you can also consider the following projects:
zmk - ZMK Firmware Repository
SofleKeyboard - A split keyboard based on Lily58, Crkbd and Helix keyboards
mikoto - Bluetooth LE nRF52840 microcontroller in a pro-micro footprint.
Jian-Info - Jian keyboard info repository
redox-keyboard - Ergonomic split mechanical keyboard
Lily58 - 6×4+4keys column-staggered split keyboard.
