Mitosis Wireless Split Ergonomic Keyboard GB is Live!

The GB has now started!

You can see an album with pics of the board. wireless receiver, and case: http://imgur.com/a/SZ1kV
The Mitosis was made by /u/reverse_bias (Reddit).
It features an ingenius design where each full keyboard set uses 4 pcbs- 2 for the actual pcbs of the keyboard, and two with switch holes broken out to act as the plate.
Both halves of the board communicate wirelessly over bluetooth with the receiver which contains a pro micro flashed with the QMK firmware. The Mitosis firmware has already been included into the default QMK firmware: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tre ... ds/mitosis
Each half of the keyboard is powered by a CR2032 battery.
I have modified the original PCBs with screw holes so that the keyboard can be mounted into an acrylic case which I designed myself.
The open source files for the modified pcb can be found: https://github.com/nhou7/mitosis_with_case
I have decided to offer the option for the board to come fully assembled and firmware flashed due to the fact that it requires soldering of SMD components as well as flashing the bluetooth firmware using Linux. If you've never done SMD soldering before, there's quite a good chance that something will go wrong such as burning off pcb pads or soldering things in misaligned/shorted.
What's Included:
-Mitosis PCBs
-Receiver PCB
-All components required for the keyboard and receiver including pro micro and 3 bluetooth modules
-Acrylic Case w/standoffs and screws
-46 Switches - Any of the Gateron, Kailh Speed, or Kailh box switches available at https://flashquark.com
-3M Rubber Bumpons
-2x CR2032 Batteries
-ST-Linkv2 to flash the bluetooth module firmware
-Assembly of the entire keyboard
