Diverge TM 2 is the first ever transformable 40% matrix split keyboard that could combine with each other. It all started when a redditor wanted to saw the Terminus Mini in half. I started the design with 2 things in mind, portability and ergonomics, The Diverge TM 2 lived up to all my expectations. The onboard Atmega32u4s provide all the power needed for a keyboard and more whilst allowing for arduino compatibility, giving an ease of customisation. The acrylic shell and plate construction allows it to be extremely lightweight, enabling you to carry it with you all day. The Animus firmware is filled with a wide variety of features, no more firmware reflashing for changing keymappings, fully NKRO capable even in boot mode, and more! The Diverge TM 2 is the lovechild of the Diverge and Terminus Mini with the best of both worlds, now available with backlight.
