Description
The Centromere Plus V2 is a split wireless ergonomic keyboard that can be built with both standard Cherry MX style switches and low profile Kailh Choc switches. It is fully programmable and customizeable.This new version adds 3 keys on the inside of each board, for a total of 6 extra keys without increasing the size of the keyboard.
It comes with a USB receiver module that allows you to customize the keymaps and layers via the QMK framework for mechanical keyboards. Having a receiver allows you to minimize wireless latency compared to a board with Bluetooth, and allows for extended battery life.
The kit includes the wireless receiver, PCBs, plates of your choice, and through-hole diodes. All keyboards will be pre-programmed with default keymaps, so you just need to solder the diodes and switches to get started with your new Centromere Plus. It features an on-off switch to save power and prevent errant keypresses when traveling with the board. Each half is powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery. One coin cell battery will last a couple of months of daily use.
The two outer keys in the thumb cluster can be used as 2 1u keys as shown, or you can use 1 2u key. In that configuration, a 2u Cherry PCB-mounted stabilizer can be used.
