Split-Keyboard-with-Joystick

Its a split keyboard custom designed for most effective use ( for me ) with an integrated joystick ( to be used as cursor) , maximizing productivity and ergonomics
I am using XIAO NRF58240 rather than ESP32 cause the zmk firmware support is currently experimental/non-existent in the main branch, and the battery life of the keyboard which will be reduced to days rather than months in NRF582400

HERE IS THE DESIGN OF SPLIT KEYBOARD
