Ariesu keyboard PCB and plate files. A 45%ish ergo-keyboard. Warning: This keyboard has an extremely weird layout.
The prototypes are in perfectly working condition.
There will not be a group-buy, however, all the PCB and case files are open-source so feel free to order the parts yourself!
The PCB is the main part of this project, it's nothing fancy but it's something I'm proud of. :^) (No backlits, sorry.)
Since the case files are stacked acrylic, it features a 0 degree typing angle, but feel free to make a case for the PCB if you want something unique.
