Ergohaven opens source for Omega Point 36 split keyboard

Ergohaven turned the Omega Point 36 from a finished compact split into something builders can now own, modify, and remake from the ground up. On May 27, u/qqcashmere announced that the design files were published, giving the 36-key wireless board a public life that goes well beyond a standard product drop.

That matters because the OP36 was already tuned for the kind of person who lives between comfort and experimentation. The board uses a 5x3+3 split layout, MX switches with hot-swap sockets, an E73-2G4M08S1C Bluetooth module, a 3D-printed case, and RMK plus ZMK firmware. The repository includes PCB files, printable case files, and firmware sources, which means the project can be replicated, forked, or reworked for different ergonomics, mounting styles, or wireless behavior instead of stopping at a polished retail unit.

Ergohaven did not pull the prebuilt version off the table. The board is still available as a finished option, so the release split the difference between plug-and-play buyers and the crowd that wants to self-source parts, change the plate or case, and push firmware in new directions. In a hobby where many ergonomic boards arrive as closed objects, that opens a different kind of ownership: the hardware becomes a starting point, not a ceiling.

The company’s own product page had already framed the Omega Point 36 as an ultra-compact wireless board with 36 fully programmable keys, 15 layers, Bluetooth and wired connectivity, support for up to six devices, a 120mAh Li-Polymer battery rated for around three weeks per charge, and ZMK Studio support. One listing described the case as PLA and put the footprint at about 115 by 95 by 19 mm, while a metal-edition listing gave the same dimensions. Now those specs sit alongside a public repository that shows the project as a live, editable keyboard platform.

That public handoff fits Ergohaven’s broader identity. The company, founded on September 25, 2021, is based in Krasnodar, Russia, ships globally, and describes its keyboards as open-source, QMK powered, modular, and highly customizable. Its site says it opens design files whenever possible, and its GitHub org already maintains rmk-eh for keyboards and trackballs. With Omega Point 36, that philosophy lands in one of the hobby’s most active corners, where a tiny wireless split is no longer just a product to buy, but a platform to keep evolving.
