  • AliExpress now has a lot of split keyboards. Many of them pre-built, or don’t require soldering (just insert your switches in hot swap holes). With your budget you can order almost anything.

    I think Corne is simplest option, looks and feels almost like traditional keyboard. I have similar right now.

    My personal top option is Charybdis, I will move to it next year. But this is more than just keyboard, but also trackball. So doesn’t fit into “first split” criteria (if you isn’t brave enough)



  • I have exactly same question, BUT I don’t want to replace a light switch with one that have different look and won’t fit in a frame anyway. And also don’t want to install a bypass on a light bulb.

    I my opinion a better option is to install the relay near the bulb. And battery-powered light switch in the box under the original mechanical light switch. That can read a change in mechanical switch and sends a signal to the hub/relay.

    Do I have any option? May be even a pcb option, if there’s ready firmware.
