Features of A52GL set

It is a 50% keyboard that adopts the Alice layout that changes the angle from the middle of the popularity recently.
Not only does it prevent accidental keystrokes by moving the cursor keys away from the surrounding keys, but it also allows you to fully enjoy the acrylic plate that is characteristic of the GL516.
Since it is difficult to align only the 1.25u key next to the A key, we recommend a flat profile keycap.
By mounting 52 sockets and diodes at the factory, assembly is only done by soldering ProMicro, pin sockets, and reset switch.

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.
