# Buzzard

![Buzzard Keyboard](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crehmann/Buzzard/main/Pictures/build_guide_final.jpg)

Buzzard is a 40 keys ergonomic split keyboard. The layout is inspired by the [Architeuthis dux](https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/tree/main/Architeuthis%20dux) with pinky, ring, index, and inner columns splayed at 15, 5, 0, -5, -5 degrees. However, it as two additional pinky keys and a modified thumb cluster.

* Keyboard Maintainer: [crehmann](https://github.com/crehmann)  
* Hardware Supported: Pro Micro 5V/16MHz and compatible.
* Hardware Availability: https://github.com/crehmann/Buzzard

## Some Features:

- Integrated TrackPoint reset circuit and two possible positions to mount a TrackPoint to the bottom of the PCB. Either between the two inner columns or between the index and middle finger columns
