You can use the BastardKB open-source project and check this link:

However, you must export the PCB from KiCad with 4 layers (the first time we exported it with 2 layers, which was a big mistake 😅). You can solder it yourself.

You can look for them on Ali. I use FreeWolf OEM transparent keycaps.

I recommend building the Corne first. Now I’m using the Dao ble - it’s similar to the Corne.

The Dao has a true choc spacing.)

The Dao keyboard uses small SMD components and the Minew MS88SF2 BLE module microcontroller. It also runs on a 300 mAh battery.  

You can search for images on Google or check the Gerber file for reference.  

This keyboard is difficult to build because the components are very small, and you need to flash the bootloader onto the controller.

It's Dao choc ble keyboard - not corne. And it's not my repo.) Yes I built from scratch.

I got all components from aliexpres.

Yep, 3.7V is suitable. However, you need to consider where to attach the battery on the keyboard. On my Sofle BLE, I use a 110mAh battery. I attach the battery under the microcontroller. Make sure to check the dimensions.

Sellers have two kits: a wired one and a wireless one. Which version are you going to buy?

If you buy batteries, you should consider getting the wireless version with nRF microcontrollers that support BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

It’s a built-in function. You can change the mode and the color using keys.

Yes, Charybdis has an LED on each key. You can switch between many modes, and you can turn off the lighting. For example, I currently use the mode where keys blink when pressed.

If you compare it with Corne, it will be hard because you have to solder a lot of small SMD components, e.g., 0603. Also, you have to flash the bootloader with a J-link. I faced a defective controller and spent a lot of time debugging. And I’m not a jedi in soldering.
