The C-13X is a cute 35% QAZ/Alice-like keyboard, designed and handwired by flurpyflurples.
I had this idea one afternoon and I just had to turn it into a reality – flurpyflurples.
The case is open-source and there's a plate DXF in the GitHub repo, along with some beauty shots:

Here's a sound test as well:

Finally, the laconic assessment of the designer:
I hate this layout but I love the board – flurples.
