The P60 (Pabile 60-Key) is a 5x12 grid ortholinear keyboard powered by RP2040 Pico microcontroller. P60 features one rotary encoder at top right corner, north facing hot swap MX switch sockets and per key RGB backlight.
Wifey informed me that our 6 month-old Kiki the Cat passed away. This is the reason why I am releasing the P60. I am trying to celebrate the happy times we had with her – Pabile.
