README.mdVOID
An Ergonomic 3x5 Split Keyboard
The VOID keyboard is meticulously designed to offer an ergonomic typing experience with its compact 3x5 layout. It supports a variety of switch types, including CherryMX, Choc V1/V2, and a hybrid configuration.
Similar to the uniCorne, the VOID keyboard features controller compatibility, hardware handedness, and Nice!View integration. Additionally, for communication between each side in wired keyboards using PR2040/ProMicro, it uses a USB Type-C connector instead of TRRS to avoid short circuit issues that can damage MCUs.
The pinky column is slightly splayed while the others are column staggered. For wireless keyboards, the VOID has a power connector to the MCU and an onboard pogo pin connector to the charger board, which can be directly connected to a battery.

Questions
How big is the Void-3x5-hybrid mx PCB?
It measures 140.5 × 112.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Void-3x5-hybrid mx use?
82 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Void-3x5-hybrid mx KiCad files?
From the Thunderbird2086/void repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hybrid-mx/void-3x5-hybrid-mx.kicad_pcb and its schematic case/plates/bottom-plate-with-mcu-cover/bottom-plate-with-mcu-cover.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Void-3x5-hybrid mx design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
