One keyboard with two layout configurations: Thanks to the completely horizontally symmetrical design of the mounting mechanism for the bottom weight to the lower case, as well as the split-PCB design for the different areas, you can switch between two layouts: regular or Southpaw.
Why is it called TENET?
"Tenet" is one of the few palindromes in English (like kayak, racecar, level, etc.), and it means "creed", "purpose", "principle".
Having decided on the design feature of a changeable layout, I felt I had to find a palindrome to fulfill the role of this keyboard's name. A palindrome that could be read from left to right and right to left, just as the keyboard can be built both right-handed and left-handed – oy2r.
