Introduction
Hello everyone! Audrey here from Oddikeys Studio. After over a year of designing, prototyping, and testing with the help of friends, I’m thrilled to announce that the SplittyKitty group buy is now officially LIVE! 🐾

• Cat ear-shaped silicone bumpers (final version upgrade) 
• Backplate features a cat face made of layered design elements

Specs
• Tri-Mode PCB (USB-C / 2.4G / Bluetooth) 
• South-facing RGB 
• 1.2 mm flexcut PCB 
• 65% split layout with gasket mount structure 
• Extra keys via removable badges 
• Weight: ~2890g per half (~5780g total)

I love and hate this. But I live more because I hate it. I hope this goes through for just how cute and silly it is. I'm tempted to get it just for that reason. Good luck with the IC!

WOW! That is really an adorable design, but it looks like it is a bit too heavy and oversized?
