[GB] Nearfield Keyboard Kit

DESCRIPTION

Ergonomics is never far

Taking inspiration from semi-split ergo layouts predating the alice layout, and drawing inspiration from the "Microsoft natural ergonomic" series.t. Nearfield expands on this by increasing the rotation of the two halves of the alpha cluster, each half is rotated 15 degrees towards the centre of the board. This increased angle forces the user to widen their elbow stance, and align their hands straighter with their forearms while typing.

Aside from the obvious layout homage to the ergo, retaining the nav cluster, the case design draws inspiration from the M0110 keyboard series from Apple. With large, relaxed chamfers surrounding the entire bezel of the board, top and bottom, as well as large corner fillets, the boards imposing footprint is blended into the desk.
