Protieusz shared the Gerbers of his Sachiel , a 34-key monoblock split with an integrated 25mm trackball, inspired by weteor 's Grumpy .
The name Sachiel is derived from one of the angels of an anime – Protieusz.
Even though the keyboard was inspired by weteor 's work, the KLE layout was done from scratch.
The "missing keys" of the Grumpy (Q, P, B and N) were added to make it a standard 30-key alpha layout. The Win and Enter keys were added to columns 3 and 10, and the thumb keys were shrunk to 1U.
