# 3W6
![3W6](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weteor/3W6/main/images/3w6_rev2_1s.jpg)
The 3w6 is a low profile, split ortholinear keyboard with 36 keys.
I needed a keyboard for work and wasn't really satisfied with the available alternatives (namely Corne, Kyria and Ferris), mostly because they are either rather large and/or don't have the spacing I would like.
The 3w6 is designed to be a simple, realiable, cheap and small keyboard to be taken everywhere.
There are currently two revisions:
* Rev1:
- onboard microcontroller (ATMega32U4)
- USB-C connector Board <-> PC
- USB-C connectors between both split halfs
- choc spacing (18x17mm)
- aggressive pinky stagger
- support for Choc V1 switches
* Rev2:
- everything Rev1 did
- additional middle plate (2mm)
- support for [Pimoroni Trackball](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/trackball-breakout) instead of outer thumb switch on right half, needs midplate
- mounting holes for [Tenting Puck](https://splitkb.com/collections/keyboard-parts/products/tenting-puck), only usable without mid or switchplate
