Finally ready to share my pet project that I've been working on! The layout is based on the Ergodash layout with the inner-most keys removed and an improved thumb cluster. The Pro Micro position was also moved inwards to allow for a thinner board. The layout was only used as a reference, nothing was copied and the board is a completely new design.
- Slim design, or as slim as I could get while using standard MX-style Switches. Essentially, the Pro Micro or whatever mounts under the PCB, flush and facing up with the help of a cutout.
- MX and Alps switches supported.
- 0.96" SSD1306 OLED supported.
- Up to two rotary encoders supported in the thumb cluster, one on each side.
- 301230 LiPo support under pro micro and on-board hard switch.
