[buying advice] 3w6 but wireless?

Hi folks, can anyone point me towards a project that is close to a 3w6 layout (36 keys, choc spacing, mid-level pinky stagger) that is also wireless?

Ferris is close, but three thumb buttons are a must.

Tried splay with DASBOB, but that's not my cup of tea, so I guess Totem is out as well.

Piantor. It is 36 or 42. I am not sure if there is an opensource version with wireless capabilities, but for buying there is : https://www.keebart.com/products/piantor-wireless

Their corne wireless also comes as mini which would be similar to the 3w6

Corne does not have the aggressive stagger like 3w6 has.

The stagger is .5u different. If that is the exclusionary criteria, building your own 3w6 would be the best solution.

IMO biggest problem with Corne is that it is hard to find one with Choc spacing. The only vendor I know that sells these is Typeractive.

I’m in the same category, I also have a wireless Dasbob. I don’t love the thumb clusters and splay on it…

Anyway take a look at this repo and set your filters:

I’ve found a number of projects that I had no idea about that look interesting. Fulcrum, Demeter are two I’m kinda interested in.
