Ambra is a Kalmar/Architeuthis Dux-based 34-key wireless split keyboard with vertical thumb cluster. Designed and shared by stozi/storxian. Thumb keys are mount at 90° with pogo pins and 3D-printed magnet brackets.

So far the geometry is good, it's usable, but magnets are coming in the mail that'll make it solid. My index finger may lightly graze the thumb keys but they're not in the way – storxian.

АМБРА / AMBRA, featured on the PCB, means Ambergris in Russian/Greek – and many more languages I guess.
