ThreepE0 wanted to put together a keyboard that was a bit more ergonomic for gaming. Basically just a Levinson on a ramp with a thumb stick connected to the F0, F1, and C7 pins.

Currently the thumbstick simulates WASD, mouse input, or it can present itself as a joystick to the OS. Can also be used to shift layers.

In a next revision the thumbstick will be moved closer to keys.

3D print files pending.
