The Little Foot is a cute ortho keyboard designed and open sourced by Garret G. aka The-Royal of the one-time Kingly Keys. Released in August 2020, this one predates kbd.news.
Sadly, the shop isn't available anymore, the domain is gone, but wayduh fortunately built and shared one (in the photo above), bringing this design to my attention. And there are many other open-source projects in the repo, so check it out!
A mighty small, 45% ortholinear keyboard. The Little_Foot is a project of mine that I made as a personal challenge. In both some tray-mounting design, as well as some more complex firmware/code construction. Trying to push the limit of how small I could realistically go, I wanted to dive more into chording, combos, layer tapping and LED configuration, all without making something overly complicated. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. :) – Garret.
