Removed 4 more keys from my daily driver. First pcb i designed. (Turns out to be a corne with angled columns) – Michael Gunawan.

This keyboard was inspired by Slepet that has more stagger in some columns and only three thumb cluster keys instead of five.

The open-source PCB comes in two versions: the default one uses one Pro Micro with Amphenol 10 cable and the mirrored PCB supports two Pro Micros with TRRS or one Pro Micro with Amphenol 10 cable.

[…]forgot to explain: Using amphenol or lan cable makes it so that every row and column between 2 halves are connected, this makes the controller detect it as 1 whole keeb.
