The Kaly is a split, ergonomic keyboard inspired by the [Ferris](https://github.com/pierrechevalier83/ferris) and the [Cantor](https://github.com/diepala/cantor) with the main goals of comfort, affordability and cuteness! The stand-out features of the Kaly is the ease-to-solder and the natural thumb cluster that allow users to confortably reach all keys of the keyboard!

## Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
