A seriously sassy, stylish, 75% split
The SNAP is a 75% split mechanical keyboard kit with support for dual rotary encoders, dual OLED displays, speaker, and RGB underglow. We took all the best parts of the NIBBLE and added some of the most popular requests (true split shift/space/backspace, anyone?). The SNAP is configurable, programmable, and best of all, easily assembled.
Together, or separate?
Use the SNAP in split mode, or snap it (whoa, get it?) together for a more traditional layout. Strong internal magnets hold the two sides together and magical spring-loaded pogo pin contacts mean there's no need for a TRRS cable when the two sides are attached. It just works.
100% through hole design*
The SNAP uses a Pro Micro MCU instead of a discrete micro-controller chip. It offers the fun and aesthetic of a kit without having to worry about soldering the difficult bits like USB connectors. All required parts (diodes, caps, and ICs) are through-hole, meaning they're easy and forgiving to solder.
*Optional underglow LEDs are surface-mount
RGB underglow ready
10x optional bottom-mounted SMT LEDs shine nicely through the acrylic support material. RGB underglow is supported natively in QMK, allowing for easy programming and configuration.
Multiple Layout Options
The SNAP supports many different key configurations and layouts: Split space, split backspace, split shift, ISO enter, and more. Check out the official configuration options and layout. Since it runs QMK firmware and uses VIA, it's easy to change keymaps, program macros, and customize functionality, even beyond what's been discussed here.
