Tikinson's ToadsTempest is probably my favorite entry to sporewoh's pocket keyboard design contest, and not just because crediting kbd.news in the repo. ;) This small 42-keys ergo keyboard project is full of great ideas: featuring acrylic keycaps, reversible half-PCBs while being a unibody split, powered by a CH552T microcontroller, running FAK, etc.

I want to be savage, I like Jiraiya a lot, I want to participate in a challenge. This project is in intersection of those three ideas – tikinson.
