## Introduction

This is the QMK firmware repository for the ArcticPCB, updated until [pre-revision Alpha](https://github.com/Gondolindrim/ArcticPCBn/releases/tag/pre-Alpha).

The ArcticPCB is an Open-Hardware guidelines compliant PCB which files can be found at [this link](https://github.com/Gondolindrim/ArcticPCB). Its designer and maintainer is [Gondolindrim](https://github.com/Gondolindrim).

The ArcticPCB is a collaboration between Gondolindrim and ArcticFox; its layouts and features were cherry-picked by Fox and the PCb was designed for him with these chosen features.

As of may 2020, there is no way to buy an ArcticPCB through a vendor or GroupBuy; the only possible way is ordering them directly from a manufacturer.

## Layouts

The possible layouts consist of a fixed 7U bottom row, with possibility of using split backspace, split right shift and stepped caps lock. In the pre-revision Alpha, the Fn and 1.75 RShift keys were swapped (the Fn is on the left and the RShift on the right), so keep that in mind.

## PCB Documentation
