Introduction
Alys35 is an Alice-like QAZ HHKB layout keyboard inspired by the Alyssia (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=121936.0) and based on the
Apricot QAZ layout in collaboration with myself and Qazimodo (https://qazimodo.com/), and is being run by Chellekeebs (https://www.instagram.com/chellekeebs/).
The goal was to create a smaller, cuter but still elegant version of the Alyssia.
