The KeeNoard, designed by Yuburoll, is a true split keyboard using a single controller thanks to the Japanese duplex matrix approach.
Inspired and learned many thing from the former great Cheapino, KeeNoard uses only one board and Japanese duplex matrix, and controlled ghosting with three PNP transistor and active-high matrix – yuburoll.
