From the project

Mechanical keyboard for left hand with Raspberry Pi Pico for games.

Sometimes I play Diablo 3 on my small 7-inch laptop and have difficulty with the keyboard. The keys are very small and the placement is a little different from a regular keyboard. Yes, I could remap the keys or use a regular keyboard, but it wouldn't be as fun as making my own keyboard.

The keyboard layout was made for my left hand with the main four fingers on the skills buttons and the thumb on the potion button.
