KLOR is a feature-rich 36-42 keys column-staggered split keyboard designed by _GEIST_. It supports a per-key RGB matrix, encoders, OLED displays, haptic feedback, speakers, a Pixart Paw3204 trackball, the SplitKB tenting puck and four different layouts via brake-off parts.

The KLOR is my first keyboard design, a 36-42 keys column-staggered split keyboard – _GEIST_.

It can use AVR Pro Micros and RP2040 Pro Micros alike.

In addition, there are two cases in the repo: a stacked acrylic one and another case for 3D printing.
