Matt Petiteau aka smallwat3r shared his latest keyboard design, the 26-key Smallcat. As with the author's earlier Sweep Cat and Sweep Cat V2 boards, this latest design feature his cat (Lila) as well.

Not long ago, I created the Sweep Cat adapted from the Sweep. But I wanted to reduce even further finger movements, so I created the Smallcat – Matt.
