Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

Quetzal by keyboarddweebs – continuing naming his boards after bird species – has a 100%ish layout, but with a monoblock angled body and the numpad on the left.

This is my first commission. I call it the Quetzal. it's open source! more details in the comments – keyboarddweebs.

The board uses a Pico Zero MCU and uses a Japanese duplex matrix to accommodate such a small controller. The firmware for now is PRK because of its built-in duplex matrix support.
