From the project
Why are the Space and Tab keys so big? Completely unnecessary.
Why are the Space and Tab keys so big? Completely unnecessary.
We are not accountants. Why should some keys get more space than others?
Ducks, palm trees, and pure summer vibes. Tactile. Compact.
Built for minimalists who still want to have fun.
52-key compact layout Uniform key sizes with no oversized Space or Tab keys Tactile typing experience Custom duck-themed design Compact footprint for minimalist setups Integrated sound effects: every keypress quacks
