Zen Keyboard

A split ergo keyboard with a few goals in mind:

• Be as thin as possible. Other split KBs (Let's Split, Nyquist, Iris) are 15.2mm thick. The Zen rev2 is only 13.2mm thick including switches and caps when using Kailh Choc low-profile switches, and 22.1mm using standard MX switches and DSA keycaps.
• Layout designed for gaming. 1.5u pinky keys, ortho alphas, and angled thumb keys. After trying Ortholinear, Atreus62, and Ergodox, this is the best layout for gaming and typing.
• Per-key RGB lighting. 34 WS2812b LEDs per side make it exceptionally bright
• Price. Using Arduino Pro Micro, SK6812 LEDs, and PCB FR4 for the case, the cost of each half without switches or caps can be reduced to under $20 when purchased at volume.
• Options. The Zen rev2 comes with rotary encoder support, SSD1306 OLED pinout, USB-C or TRRS interconnect, and jumpers to enable compatibility with the QMK Proton-C and the Keeb.io Elite-C
