Richard Goulter (richardgoulter/rgoulter) shared his WABBLE-60, a 5x12 ortholinear keyboard with offset halves. A BLE, RISC-V-powered adaptation of peej's Lumberjack.
To be more precise, the keyboard uses the WeAct BLE core board which is significantly cheaper than the more popular nice!nano.
The PCB design resembles peej's lumberjack-keyboard, and mounts into GH-60 compatible cases like the Lumberjack; however, the WeAct BLE core board uses a much more powerful MCU than the Lumberjack's 8-bit ATMega328P – Richard.

Kirei firmware
The author explored various firmware options. One of these is Kirei from semickolon, author of fak, which supports CH58x.
Like fak, Kirei's keymaps are declared in Nickel. Kirei's keymap language is more expressive than fak's.
