Extra Happy

Hey all,

I'd like to introduce my latest project - the Extra Happy.
This board was developed as a tribute to the iconic Happy Hacking Keyboard. The original layout is preserved as much as possible, down to the 6u spacebar and uneven corner blockers. The Extra Happy brings in 10 additional macro keys to the layout, adding to its work ready ethos.

This project is developing quickly, so please feel free to leave your suggestions in the IC form and on this thread!

Please fill out this form if you are interested!

A lot of updates in this one! First, PCB and compatibility updates:





Compatibility with full right shift and full backspace! Additionally, a centered switch placement has been added to the spacebar to help improve the compatibility with a variety of sets.

Next up, the badge:





I have been experimenting with some changes to the badge design and front iconography. Feel free to let me know what you think! Depending on popularity, the original smiley badge might be kept as an optional extra.
A blank version of the badge will be released as well if you would like to design and run your own badge logo.

Thanks again for your interest!
