32 key hummingbird adjacent keyboard, also taking inspiration from its variations, such as the zilpzalp thumb keys
also credits to ergogen for simplifying the key placement tremendously
exclusively supports choc switches, is choc spaced
exclusively supports the MIAO controller and FAK firmware
this keyboard essentially restores the middle column to a hummingbird, making it possible to not combo for these keys and ruin your muscle memory for all other keyboards
this is made possible by the miao having additional IO pins, removing the 30 key limit of the xiao that is used in the hummingbird
this keyboard uses BAV70 diodes
this pcb has some mounting tabs meant to provide freedom in designing cases, but sticking adhesive feet to the bottom is the lowest profile variant possible and therefore preferred
while i personally have working versions with both hotswap sockets and soldered switches i will of course not take any responsibility for the producteon files being functional, use them at your own risk

Questions
How big is the Faustus PCB?
It measures 218.4 × 108.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Faustus use?
52 parts, built around the BAV70. 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 Faustus KiCad files?
From the ulog4l/faustus repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/faustus.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/faustus.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Faustus design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ulog4l before reusing the design.
