From the project
The utility of an 80% keyboard in a 40% layout
The utility of an 80% keyboard in a 40% form factor.
Inspired by the design of the OP-1 Synthesizer, the explorative spirit of the 40% & 30% keyboard community (especially boards like ChonkyKong, CutiePie, and Ortho Cajal), and the tactile reference points and minimized finger-travel of many split, ergonomic keyboards. The 80forty was partly motivated by the appearance of Deadline Studio DOYS keycaps, but it works with any MX-compatible keycaps.
