Eobard is a columnar 34-key split keyboard by viniciusbrit aka ComfyCore, inspired by the Ferris and running KMK on Pi Picos.

Specs
- 34 keys (5x3+2)
- MX, soldered
- reversible PCB
- Raspberry Pi Pico
- KMK
I have huge hands, I designed it so that I would use the innermost thumb key as the main thumb key and the outermost as the one I shift to for functions or less used keys – ComfyCore.
