Quetzal
KeyboardDweebs' open-source Quetzal is not the usual 100% keyboard you'd expect.
Published January 11, 2023
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.
