After his SatPad, Jason Hazel aka quirk published the files of this ultrathin 40% ortho board: the Crepe.

This keyboard features Kailh's X switches and supports controllers with Pro Micro footprint (Pro Micro, Nice!Nano, Elite-C, STeMCell, etc.).

MKUltra started carrying the Kailh X Switches, so I grabbed a handful and the Crepe is the result. 40 key ultrathin (7mm not counting bumpons) running ZMK – quirk.
