Keyboard
Layout
Design
The Little Keyboard is a custom 64-key keyboard that I created with the very specific goal of deviating as little as possible from a standard keyboard layout—it essentially doubles up the keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard by using the ‘raise’ modifier. Emoji keys are mapped using the ‘lower’ modifier, entered as unicode character codes using macros.
Tip
This design was created using Keyboard Layout Editor and the JSON can be found in the keyboard directory.
