As part of his Orthocade family, weteor has open sourced the Brk Out, a 38-key orthogonal keyboard with split alphas and offset space.

Named after another classic video game, just like other boards of this series, the Brk Out evolved from the Spc Evdr to provide some more space for the hands and to stretch the spacebar area to a more standard 6u.

  • ZMK (Xiao BLE) or QMK w/vial (Xiao RP2040) support
