I missed this model at the time of its publication and learned about it only from the Chonky Kong post.
So the files of Kong , another ortholinear board with a twist, were shared by weteor about two months ago.
It perfectly fits the author's Orthocade family , a line of ortho boards with the hallmark offset bottom row, and each of the models named after a retro game.
If you'd like a numpad in the center, check out the Chonky Kong , which is an updated/extended version of the Kong.
