Youngmin Lee (aka yuburoll) shared the PISIC, a modification of the ANSIC with slightly curvy rows – inspired by the Grin layout.

I made a somewhat advanced version of my previous keyboard, ANSIC. […] "PISIC" means grin in Korean – yuburoll.

The PCB dimensions are under 102 mm, which as it turned out, is the real size limit JLCPCB will fab for $2.
