From the project

Low profile ortholinear keyboard

An extended 5x12 keyboard with 2 extra keys. Intended for ortho layouts with a shifted number row, allowing for the placement of the delete and tilde keys above their usual spots.

Krteq is a successor to Krtkus, learning from its lessons to make a design that's easier to build, more maintainable, better encapsulated and overall a more complete product.

- Low profile - Hotswap - White backlight (only breathing effect) - QMK/VIA compatible - Gateron KS-33B (GLP 3.0) switches - 3D printed case with a 7 degree tilt - Tray mount PCB, integrated plate - 233mm × 125mm × 30mm
