The Scotto63 is a 63-key 60% monoblock split keyboard. Column-staggered, and wireless with a 750mAh battery. It uses the author's flat profile ScottoCaps.

I originally teased this build around November of 2023 and finally got around to building it this week – Joe.

Supporting Bluetooth wireless is a side effect of opting to use a nice!nano, because the keyboard requires 20 total pins for the matrix and the nice!nano has 21 total GPIO pins.

(You could use a Pro Micro if you used the TX and RX LED pins.)

Video coming soon (scheduled for later today).
