CrackerRobot (aka c-botz ) keeps chopping off unnecessary keys from his Crowkb. After the 46-key variant , here is the ''crowkb_38 with some pinky keys removed.
The crowkb keyboards are split, staggered and splayed keyboards with low-placed thumb keys. I designed them because I felt a lot of the keyboards in this space have an uncomfortable thumb placement for my size of hands – CrackerRobot.
Features
38 keys
Choc, hotswap or soldered
