Common core functionality:

  • Hot-swap 4x12 Ortho
  • RP2040, 4 MB flash
  • USB type C
  • Full per key RGB
  • Optional encoders on all four corners
  • Optional 1x2u & 2x2u layout

Option 1:

  • North-facing keys
  • Fits existing JJ40/BM40 cases

Option 2:

  • South-facing keys
  • Needs dedicated case design (possibly USB daughterboard)

Option 3:

  • South-facing keys, compromise on the two top row keys by the USB connector.
  • Fits existing JJ40/BM40 cases
