The Silli41 is a 41-key column staggered unibody keyboard, heavily based on the REVIUNG41.

Designed by Juho T. aka Squalius-cephalus, the PCB uses MX/Choc combined switch footprints, but the current top plate only supports MX style switches.

Both devices, the Silli41 and the accompanying Silli18 numpad use a Raspberry Pi Pico clone.
