I designed both the plate and the PCB to fit a Bakeneko 65. This was my first time making a PCB. It took a couple tries to get it right, but the end result was worth it! – StickersDrgn.

So Lexi Stubbs aka StickersDrgn wanted an ortho layout that would be compatible with both existing cases and keysets, that's the reason for the "odd cluster of staggered mods on the right".

In hindsight, she would make the right shift 2 x 1u keys instead of a single 2u key.
