From the project
Small keyboard designs for folks who cannot use 'traditional' keyboard designs. These designs are focused on running the artsey.io keyboard layout.
This is the fifh hardware design of the Paintbrush mini keyboard. This version adds MX switch support, a plate for MX builds and moves the MCU to a better location to accomodate thicker USB cables. The silk screens were also overhauled and can be used to guide a build without referencing these instructions.
Please see the following sections for details about this hardware version.
