From the project
a Keyboard with key height optimization
Sandy is a keyboard with key height optimization.
Layered PCB will make height differences for each key. This covers the lack of optimization to physical key layout that only adjust x-y direction in a plane.
Sandyは、スイッチの配置を立体的にして高さ方向への最適化を加えた、左右対称レイアウトの60%キーボードです。
平面上のキーレイアウトだけでは最適化しきれない部分を、キーの位置に応じてスイッチを配置する高さを変えることで補っています。
キー割り当て書き換えツールRemapがQMKファームウェアのバージョン 0.22.2以降に対応したことに伴い、新しくビルドしたSandyのファームウェアを公開しました。 参考:Remap supports QMK Firmware 0.22.2 or higher
