This little cutie is matmat35, a handwired keyboard design by kiencovn aka kienkhuat, combining the QAZ 11u and HHKB layouts.

The acrylic bottom piece, which helps to show off the handwiring, was inspired by Dieter Rams's Braun Phonosuper SK 4 "Snow White's Coffin", designed in the 1950s.

The STL files for 3d printing are included in the repo, just like the controller mount (it was designed for a Pro Micro controller with USB type-C connector, which has a slightly longer PCB than traditional one with micro usb).

The flower pattern used for laser carving on the bottom part is depicting a Rangoon creeper, one of the author's favorites.
