About Clickety Split
Clickety Split is a small, independent hardware company focused on thoughtful input devices, wireless electronics, and the little details that make a build feel personal.
Keyboards are where the story began.
What started as a collection of split keyboard kits, parts, and experiments has grown into something more intentional: designing compact, practical, and carefully considered hardware, and supporting it well.
Curiosity has always been an important part of Clickety Split. Earlier keyboard projects such as Leeloo, Leeloo-Micro, and Pepito helped explore layouts, controller options, displays, rotary encoders, wireless features, power management, and the many small choices that go into making a device feel right.
Those designs remain an important part of the Clickety Split story. More importantly, the lessons learned from them continue to shape the hardware being developed today.
From parts to platforms
Custom keyboard building has traditionally meant bringing together many separate pieces: controllers, displays, batteries, sockets, PCBs, cases, firmware, and a little bit of hope that everything will work together cleanly.
Clickety Split is moving toward more integrated hardware foundations.
That means designing more of the supporting electronics together from the beginning: wireless connectivity, charging and power management, display integration, protection, firmware support, and the physical details that allow those systems to work together as a complete device.
The goal is not to make projects feel less custom.
The goal is to make the foundation stronger.
The next chapter
MNML and Chiisai represent the next chapter of Clickety Split hardware.
MNML is an integrated wireless split keyboard family that brings more of the keyboard electronics directly onto the PCB, reducing the number of separate modules required while creating a cleaner and more complete hardware platform.
Chiisai carries the same philosophy into a compact wireless controller-style board for compatible keyboard projects and future Clickety Split hardware.
Together, they reflect the direction Clickety Split is moving toward: cleaner integration, thoughtful wireless design, practical firmware support, and hardware that is designed as a complete system rather than a collection of unrelated parts.
Keyboards remain at the heart of Clickety Split, while the ideas and experience developed through them continue to create opportunities for other thoughtful input devices and small hardware projects in the future.
Respecting where it started
Clickety Split would not exist without the custom keyboard community, open-source firmware projects, shared build knowledge, and the many hardware ideas that came before it.
Earlier Clickety Split designs such as Leeloo, Leeloo-Micro, and Pepito remain part of that history. Concise legacy and compatibility information is maintained here on the website, while current firmware configurations, hardware integration resources, and preserved technical material are maintained through Clickety Split’s public GitHub repositories.
The past is not being erased.
It is becoming the foundation for what comes next.
Built with care
Clickety Split is intentionally small.
Designs are tested carefully, changes are made thoughtfully, and new products are released when the hardware, firmware, and supporting experience are ready.
The focus is on making hardware that feels practical, understandable, dependable, and worth building with.
Clickety Split hardware is designed, prepared, tested, packed, and supported with care in small batches.
Whether you are discovering Clickety Split for the first time, keeping an existing keyboard going, following what is currently in development, or waiting to see what comes next, thank you for being here.
Clickety Split is still growing, still learning, and still building the next piece of the story.
