1 # 3W6 2 3  4 5 The 3w6 is a low profile, split ortholinear keyboard with 36 keys. 6 7 I needed a keyboard for work and wasn't really satisfied with the available alternatives (namely Corne, Kyria and Ferris), mostly because they are either rather large and/or don't have the spacing I would like. 8 9 The 3w6 is designed to be a simple, realiable, cheap and small keyboard to be taken everywhere. 10 11 There are currently two revisions: 12 * Rev1: 13 - onboard microcontroller (ATMega32U4) 14 - USB-C connector Board <-> PC 15 - USB-C connectors between both split halfs 16 - choc spacing (18x17mm) 17 - aggressive pinky stagger 18 - support for Choc V1 switches 19 * Rev2: 20 - everything Rev1 did 21 - additional middle plate (2mm) 22 - support for [Pimoroni Trackball](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/trackball-breakout) instead of outer thumb switch on right half, needs midplate 23 - mounting holes for [Tenting Puck](https://splitkb.com/collections/keyboard-parts/products/tenting-puck), only usable without mid or switchplate 24 25 --- 26 27 * Keyboard Maintainer: [weteor](https://github.com/weteor) 28 * Hardware Supported: 29 * 3w6 rev1 30 * 3w6 rev2 (with Pimoroni support) 31 * Hardware Availability: 32 * make one yourself: [Design and Productionfiles](https://github.com/weteor/3w6) 33 * maintainer is selling kits when available 34 --- 35 To reach the bootloader, connect the board to the PC and push the reset button on left half. 36 37 Make examples for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment): 38 39 make 3w6/rev1:default 40 make 3w6/rev2:default 41 make 3w6/rev2:default_pimoroni 42 43 --- 44 45 See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.
