Closis is a low-profile unibody-split ergonomic keyboard with Choc spacing, based heavily on the Pteron44. It features a Pimoroni Trackball.
The major changes from the Pteron are:
- tightest possible Choc spacing
- increased slant angle
- modified thumb cluster
- increased column stagger, especially on the pinky columns
- Pimoroni Trackball added

It is fully functional however, with the exception of the Pimoroni Trackball which currently works but is kind of unreliable – ghostfaceschiller.
