Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 150K readers.

For anyone interested in building my first keyboard design, I have made it open source – DiplomacyPunIn10Did.

PCB and plate files on GitHub:

While this layout is definitely not for everyone, the function keys in the center make it somewhat better ulnar-deviation-wise compared to a classic monoblock ortho. Also, utilizing a standard keycap set is a nice feature.
