12/10/2025 - Brain Storming ideas for the keyboard

While researching about various different types of split keyboards due to the space limitations with the board i decided to add different presets which have different types of keys . Oled screens to show info about the the users surroundings,battery level,notifications,etc and i wanted to make it a full keyboard if the user wishes to using magnets.I have attached inspo

12/15/2025 - Making of the Schematics

A schematic is basically a diagram of the circuit we are making from this we make the pcb.
For my schem I had to make a matrix which contains all the switches and diodes.

Diodes were used because our xiao has limited amount of space for switches so to extend the number of switches i had used diodes

since the xiao we are using has bluetooth capabilities I added a battery pads

To tell the computer how much battery is left I added battery sense

12/16/2025 - Pcb Madness

I had to spend a good 1 hour lookin at inspo for the layout finally came upon the decision of this layout its called at canaria layout
Now I face a problem ,I do not know how to place the diodes

12/17/2025 - Finally finished the Pcb

after a good bunch of hours I finished the pcb this particularly took so much time because of me having the duplicate the sides manually since the mirroring was not fitting right with me.
I had given the pcb a good layout and shape also figured out the diode position.
One of the problems i faced was the mouse bites it just wasnt working out resulting in many drc errors,then I realised the panellization addon was just a template so i made my own version of a mouse bite

After I finished the pcb I had to make a keyboard case for both the sides so I decided to have some fun . Me personally I like doing graffiti art so I decided to influence my design using that and I ended up with this monstrosity

12/19/2025 10:49 PM - The final piece of the puzzle

It took a whole lot more time than I expected but with enough time,Assistance from chatgpt and the various wikis in the internet I made a kmk code which i found easier than the zmk

12/19/2025 11 PM - Im done

Cleaned up the repo,attached all the needed files and spent a good amount time on the bom looking for the most cost friendly options.I think im done with it!

12/30/2025 - Bill of Materials

Now that everything is finished off we have to create a list of things we require to make our project a reality.I made a list in google sheets ,added links and price.Exported it in csv and pdf(to have clickable links).Most of the budget goes in shipping cost since I live in the UAE
