This is a custom 65% style keyboard that is split in the middle to provide a more ergonomic option whilest not being drastically different from the standard stagger used on keyboards
#Features
- Open Source Design

- Infinite layers
- Alps & Cherry (PCB and Plate) switches supported
- PCB mount stabs supported
- All keys individually lit. LED on top to maintain compatibility with the few backlit keysets out there
- 18 RGB SMD LEDs on the bottom of the PCB for under/side glow
