## What it is
Sweep is an open-source compact split ergonomic keyboard design inspired by the Ferris, using a daughterboard such as a ProMicro, Elite-C, or nice!nano instead of onboard components. The repository contains PCB design files, case files, and documentation for multiple hardware variants (Sweep 2, Half Swept, Bling MX/LP, High, Mini).

## Use cases
- build my own compact split ergonomic keyboard
- find a Ferris-style keyboard that uses a promicro or nice!nano
- get PCB and case files for a 34-key choc keyboard
- make a wireless bluetooth split keyboard with nice!nano
- choose between hotswap and soldered low-profile keyboard variants
- print or fabricate a DIY ergo keyboard at home

## When to choose
- you want to fabricate your own small split ergonomic keyboard from open hardware files
- you prefer a daughterboard (ProMicro/Elite-C/nice!nano) so the controller is replaceable
- you want variants covering Choc v1/v2, Choc Mini, and MX switches, with optional hotswap and tenting

## When to avoid
- you want a ready-made keyboard you can buy and use out of the box
- you need a full-size or standard-layout keyboard
- you are not comfortable sourcing parts, soldering, and flashing firmware yourself
