Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

The Crowkb_46, designed and shared by CrackerBot/c-botz, is a 3x6 split keyboard with some splay and thumb clusters set below the main level of other keys.

The crowkb is a split 3x6 staggered and splayed keyboard with 5 low placed thumbkeys. I designed it because I felt a lot of the keyboards in this space have an uncomfortable thumb placement for my size of hands – c-botz.

The PCB is reversible and wireless-ready.
