The Flea
A new member of Jim Merricks White's 30% bugs family: the Flea.

Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.
Inspired by David Barr's Hypergolic, Jim published the latest design in his series of 30% split keyboards with various levels of splay.
The splay is a little different from the Midge and the Mosquito, with none between the index and middle finger and an extra 5 degrees between the ring and pinkie. This pushes the pinkie out a little bit while also pulling the thumb in. The thumb cluster has a slightly inverted splay to match – jamesmnw.

In addition, you can find a few words about the keymap in this thread.
