From the project

wireless keyboard (65% layout)

version0.65 is an almost 65% keyboard. It is a bluetooth keyboard, using the SuperMini nRF52840 board, which is pin compatible with the nice!nano v2. It has a built in battery along with a On/Off switch.

The keyboard is hotswap, with gateron hotswap sockets and Gateron Blue switches.

The PCB was designed in KiCad and the case was designed in Autodesk Fusion. The footprints for the switches have been taken from the marbastlib library - https://github.com/ebastler/marbastlib
