Hi everyone! I'm planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don't have a soldering iron.

What are my options ? Ideally I want:

DIY, no soldering involved
QMK firmware
40% format

The keyboard I'm leaning toward is the let's split as it's a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can't.

Keeb.io should have you covered here with the Nyquist - 60% ortho split

If you want an ergo layout and can stick with a 40 they also have the Iris - 40% ergo split

I suggest you poke around their site. They have a couple other unusual split boards too.
