This is a handwired 58-key monoblock keyboard called Ajisai.

It seems the keyboard hobby slowly turns into a free Japanese course: this time we learn the Japanese word for the hydrangea plant which is 紫陽花 (ajisai). (Previous lessions: shiratama, ki, umo, penkesu, etc.)

The layout of DCharlo's keyboard is similar to that of the Lily58 but with Choc spacing.

ZMK firmware was super simple to create a shield for a monoblock as I found out! – DCharlo.
