From the project

36 key ergo split keyboard, designed around the Seeeduino Xiao platform

36 key ergo split keyboard, designed around the Seeeduino Xiao platform. Inspired by the Corne, Ferris, Ben Vallack's videos and countless hours of perusing reddit and kbd.news, but ultimately this has been done up from scratch largely as an exercise for myself. The layout was generated through experimentation with scale drawings on my ipad, although emphasis has been placed on aesthetics and compactness.
