intro
This is a keyboard that I designed wayyyy back in 2021. At the time it was just a low priority silly project, but even for my silly projects I like my execution to be on point.
The version you see today has gone through lots of aesthetic modifications and is chock full of cute details to experience.

faq
Is this compatible with TGR Alice/Mechlovin Adelais/Wonderland/another Alice PCB?
No, the screwless and the shape of the mounting prevented me from using a more standard PCB sadly.
Is the PCB compatible with this other (Alice-like)?
Maybe? If the daughterboards seem to match then it’s possible but I don’t know of any other Alices that take S1.
