Staff memo

This is a proposal for a new self-made keyboard by Mr. Salicylic Acid, who has published many blog articles for beginners.
Even though it is a machined aluminum keyboard case, it is possible to adopt Pro Micro and BLE Micro Pro, which simplifies the design and makes wireless support easy.
There is a wide range of modifications, and the acrylic decoration plate cut by the keyboard acrylic plate service allows color coordination to match the keycap, and there are many ways to improve the feeling of keystrokes.
