YUKI is a diodeless split keyboard with a column stagger layout, shared by crolbar. Heavily inspired by the Cantor.

The thumb cluster was a bit uncomfortable at first, but i got used to it and now its not that bad – crolbar.

As many Japanophiles know, 'yuki' means 'snow' in Japanese – hence the snowflake silk screen art.
