From the project

Pallas: one of the names of Athena, goddess of wisdom, war and craftsmanship.

Pallas: one of the names of Athena, goddess of wisdom, war and craftsmanship.

This keyboard was inspired by the famous Alice keyboard. The main issue I found with the layout of the Alice keyboard is that despite being "ergonomic" the two halves were too close for me. The result is the twelve keys pad at the center which filled the gap between the left and right part while providing function keys, num pad or macro keys.
