Thank you all for the continued support of this simple idea
i’ve had of an extended 40%.
I myself isnt even a 40%
fan, but i was annoyed by the limited alphas on all the
beautiful small 40% boards.
So about 2 years ago , when
i joined the “community” i came up with this 50% idea, as
well as a 75% design, both of which would fix the problem we
had at the time with 40% and 75% boards.

Depending on your layout choice, the L50 can be both
an extended 40% or a 50% (if you count the keys).
Layout
options will be same as on the IC page and you can read up
on the inspiration for such decisions there.
The PCB
will keep the support for both MX and SMK switches. I myself
the prefer the top pcb mounted typing experience over the
plate mounted, but i will of course include a plate for
those who prefer or need it for such switches.
The
Protoypes at hand will be shipped to the states a few days
after GB start for testing.
