To create the tenting, Borteese came up with a custom keyboard mixing smaller PCBs and handwiring.

This has a five-part PCB and is almost fully hardwired. I also designed the case and 3d printed it. To program it, I use an Arduino Micro. This keyboard can access almost all the keys on a full-sized keyboard using layer button (the menu button next to the left spacebar) – Borteese.
