+# Pteron56
+
+![Pteron56](https://i.imgur.com/kt1RSi9h.jpg)
+
+The Pteron56 is a 56-key vertically staggered ortholinear keyboard with a 15 degree inward tilt per hand.
+
+Initially developed by [FSund](https://github.com/fsund), this keyboard was designed to potentially reduce wrist and typing strain by offsetting the keys in a manner that mimics the natural stagger of the human hand with 4 thumb keys per side arranged around an ~85mm arc to mimic the swimg of one's mighty thumbs.
+
+Users have reported reduced finger movement, reduced wrist movement, and better typing comfort and swiftness with the Pteron layouts compared to a standard keyboard.
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [Alex Moore](https://github.com/kraken-jokes)
+* Hardware Supported:
+ * PCB: Pteron56v0.2, Pteron56v0.2hsu, Pteron56v0.3, Pteron56v0.4e
+ * MCU: Pro-Micro, Elite-C
+* Hardware Availability: moorekeys.etsy.com. Open source though so it varies.
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make pteron56:default
+
+Flashing example for this keyboard:
+
+ make pteron56:default:flash

+## Bootloader
+
+Enter the bootloader thusly:
+* **Keycode in layout**: Press and hold the right most thumb key on the left side (LT(2(KC_ALT)) and while that is held, hit the top left key on the left side of the keyboard (KC_ESC) which will reset the board and enter bootloader mode.
+Thumb and pinky is my method, but do what you will.
