Snowflake keyboard

A tightly spaced keyboard by kbranch38.

This weird keyboard uses 17x16 mm key spacing instead of the standard 19x19 (inspired by this post).

I'm a guy with pretty normal sized hands, but I've always felt like even some of the alpha keys are just a little bit more of a stretch than I'd like - the tight spacing takes care of that without feeling cramped at all.
