The Gnat (formerly Termite) is another member of Jim Merricks' bug themed line of tiny ergo split designs.

This isn't a new one but, in contrast to the Flea, Mosquito or Midge, the Gnat hasn't been featured on kbd.news yet so thanks ai_Doge for posting your build and making me aware of this version.

The Gnat is like a Midge with an extra inner key or a Mosquito without the outer pinky key.

All the files are available in this GitHub repo:
