The Board

Based on the Bakeneko, much of the original design has been kept. Only changes have been the addition of an internal weight and a slight change in the back profile.

Since the original proto, an engraving has been added, bumpons have also been changed to custom silicone feet.

Layouts

Ciel supports normal 60% ansi as well as tsangan bottom row, split right shift, split backspace, and stepped caps lock.

The plate has been modified so that one should be able to use screw-in stabs, in my testing they have worked although it was a little finicky to get right
