# 3W6
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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
 |
