README
README.mdSquiggle Keyboard
It's a keyboard family which based on my circumstances, preferences, and observed usages.
Requirements:
- 5 columns per hand. My right pinky is almost useless.
- At most 3 keys for each side's thumb row. My right thumb key is almost useless.
- No numrow. It's harder and more cumbersome to use than a numpad on a layer.
- Split. Typing on single flat keyboard hurts my arms in a lot of use cases.
- Symmetric. Personal preferences.
This family keyboard repo will not have any of the following features:
- OLED Screen: useless.
- LEDs: useless for me and hurt my eyes.
- Rotary Encoder: useless for me.
- Hotswap: I need a commitment.
- Case for
Low Profile: defeating the whole purpose of LOW profile.

I haven't printed some of it. But, theoretically, they should just work. Oh, if things go wrong, I won't take any responisibilities.

Questions
How big is the Squiggle minimalist PCB?
It measures 236.1 × 112 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Squiggle minimalist use?
79 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Squiggle minimalist KiCad files?
From the ibnuda/Squiggle repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is minimalist/squiggle-minimalist.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Squiggle minimalist design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
