This one-handed keyboard designed by Matthew Dobinson aka Elegant-Ad2319 was inspired by the FrogPad.

(I wasn't aware of FrogPad, a tiny chorded keyboard, but after checking out its wikipedia page it would deserve a separate post.)

Thought someone else might be interested in this FrogPad inspired design and build – Elegant-Ad2319.

Matthew used the snap-apart 5x6 ortho PCB offered by Adafruit, so combined it with relegendable caps and an Adafruit Feather development board, the wiring was relatively easy.
