Description
The Telophase keyboard is a split wireless keyboard which supports both standard Cherry MX style switches and low profile Kailh Choc switches.This keyboard is a split orthogonal 4x12 keyboard. It comes with a USB receiver module that allows you to customize the keymaps and layers via the QMK framework for mechanical keyboards.
The advantage of using a custom receiver instead of using Bluetooth is that Bluetooth (or BLE) is a protocol with a lot of overhead that is trying to be everything to everyone. With a custom receiver, it's possible to design for the lowest latency possible and much longer battery life compared to most Bluetooth designs. Because the receiver is treated like a USB keyboard, it simplifies the use of the keyboard and vastly simplifies the process of programming keymaps.
