From the project
split 40% ortholinear keyboard based the corne keyboard by foostan
The Jade keyboard is a split 40% ortholinear mechanical keyboard (that's a lot of words) which (optionally) has a thinkpad trackpoint attachment on the right half.
The red key represents the trackpoint keyboard-layout-editor
The whole project is based on the corne keyboard by foostan but has undergone many modifications. Still, a lot of work has been saved duo to the work done by foostan.
