Hi everyone! I’m planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don’t have a soldering iron.

What are my options ? Ideally I want:

  • DIY, no soldering involved
  • QMK firmware
  • 40% format

The keyboard I’m leaning toward is the let’s split as it’s a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can’t.

    The Iris Rev 8 might be just what you’re looking for. In any case, I think the term you’re looking for is “hotswapable” since you want DIY without soldering.

    Personally, I have the Ergodox EZ and I love it. It almost meets all of your requirements but I think it’s more than 40%.
