The Vesuveus by RaffOwO is a cute 40% monoblock split, inspired by keyboards like the nine-nano by bsag and the Atreus.
Vesuveus is a compact, pocketable keyboard with 40 keys that packs a punch! It's carefully designed to be your trusty sidekick for every task, whether you're coding, designing, or just having some typing fun – RaffOwO.
With a name derived from the volcano by Naples, Vesuveus was designed to fit the preferences of the author: check out the Github repo for detailed info on why it's high-pro and unibody with exactly 40 keys, and why the Atreus couldn't check all the boxes.
Feel free to contact RaffOwO if you'd like to help him turning this handwired design into a PCB.
