What is ZMK
Pete Johanson 1 is the creator and lead maintainer of the ZMK Firmware project
Zephyr™ Mechanical Keyboard (ZMK) Firmware
ZMK Firmware 23 is an open source (MIT) keyboard firmware built on the Zephyr™ Project Real Time Operating System (RTOS) 45. ZMK's goal is to provide a modern, wireless, and powerful firmware free of licensing issues.
What is a board
In ZMK, a board defines the PCB that includes the microcontroller unit (MCU). For keyboards, this is one of two options:
Complete keyboard PCBs that include the MCU (e.g. the Planck or Preonic). Small MCU boards (e.g. the nice!nano or Seeed Studio Xiao RP2040) that expose pins and are designed to be combined with larger keyboard PCBs, or hand-wired to switches to create the final keyboard 6.
What is a shield
In ZMK, a shield is a PCB or hardwired set of components that when combined with an MCU-only board, like the SparkFun Pro Micro RP2040 or nice!nano, results in a complete usable keyboard. Examples would be keyboard PCBs like the Kyria or Lily58. The shield is usually the big PCB containing all the keys 6.
What are Modules
ZMK makes use of Zephyr modules to include additional source code or configuration files into its build. You can think of them as similar to plugins or themes. The most common uses of this feature are:
- Building firmware for a keyboard external to ZMK's tree 7
- Adding functionality to ZMK, such as a driver or a behavior 7

ZMK Firmware official physical layouts integration: We recommend the use of this tool for writing a physical layout or converting one from a QMK JSON definition. If your keyboard already has a physical layout defined for the use with KLE, we recommend using this other tool first to convert your existing layout into QMK JSON. The second tool can also import the position data from KiCAD, if said program was used to design the keyboard - https://zmk.dev/docs/development/hardware-integration/physical-layouts ↩ ↩2

What is ZMK
Pete Johanson 1 is the creator and lead maintainer of the ZMK Firmware project
Zephyr™ Mechanical Keyboard (ZMK) Firmware
ZMK Firmware 23 is an open source (MIT) keyboard firmware built on the Zephyr™ Project Real Time Operating System (RTOS) 45. ZMK's goal is to provide a modern, wireless, and powerful firmware free of licensing issues.
What is a board
In ZMK, a board defines the PCB that includes the microcontroller unit (MCU). For keyboards, this is one of two options:
Complete keyboard PCBs that include the MCU (e.g. the Planck or Preonic). Small MCU boards (e.g. the nice!nano or Seeed Studio Xiao RP2040) that expose pins and are designed to be combined with larger keyboard PCBs, or hand-wired to switches to create the final keyboard 6.
What is a shield
In ZMK, a shield is a PCB or hardwired set of components that when combined with an MCU-only board, like the SparkFun Pro Micro RP2040 or nice!nano, results in a complete usable keyboard. Examples would be keyboard PCBs like the Kyria or Lily58. The shield is usually the big PCB containing all the keys 6.
What are Modules
ZMK makes use of Zephyr modules to include additional source code or configuration files into its build. You can think of them as similar to plugins or themes. The most common uses of this feature are:
- Building firmware for a keyboard external to ZMK's tree 7
- Adding functionality to ZMK, such as a driver or a behavior 7
Official Resources
- ZMK Documentation - The primary source for all information regarding ZMK.
- ZMK GitHub Repository - The source code and development hub.
- ZMK Discord Server - The main hub for community discussion, support, and development.

ZMK Firmware official physical layouts integration: We recommend the use of this tool for writing a physical layout or converting one from a QMK JSON definition. If your keyboard already has a physical layout defined for the use with KLE, we recommend using this other tool first to convert your existing layout into QMK JSON. The second tool can also import the position data from KiCAD, if said program was used to design the keyboard - https://zmk.dev/docs/development/hardware-integration/physical-layouts ↩ ↩2
