A look at Glove80¶
Glove80 is a split keyboard, consisting of a left half and a right half.
The left half is called the Central in ZMK vocabulary and acts as the “brain” of Glove80. When connected to a host like a PC or a phone the connection is always made with the left half. The left half communicates with the right half (which is called the Peripheral in ZMK vocabulary) through a Bluetooth Low Energy connection.
When connecting Glove80 to a host with a USB cable, the USB cable must be plugged into the left half. When Glove80 is connected to the host via Bluetooth Low Energy (BT Low Energy or BLE), the left half is the half that is talking to the host wirelessly.
