Along with the modubu, Yuburoll also released another split: the Boardloaf. This one is very similar but has a normal 3x5+3 column-staggered layout. Still 100x100 mm for cheaper manufacturing.

I completed two keyboards from mockups; which have almost same schema, but different design – Yuburoll.

Features

• 36 keys (5x3+3)
• MX switches, hotswap or soldered
• RP2040-Zero controllers
• reversible PCB, 100x100 mm
• TRRS connectors
• 3D-printed case
• QMK firmware
