From the project
Choctopus44 is a custom low profile keyboard
Choctopus44 is low profile, Choc spaced, optionally hotswappaple 44-key column staggered keyboard with a rotary encoder. It is loosely based on gtips's REVIUNG project, specifically REVIUNG41, but has deviated from it significantly during its development.
While all the main issues of the original Choctopus44 prototypes were addressed during the development of v2, some new minor arose during it's development.
