Calice - A 75% F13 Alice
The ‘Complete’ Alice.

Discord
R4 Prototype
Background
Heya Geekhack, for the longest time as an Alice user
I always wanted something that I could use on the daily for
work, but never found something that exactly met my needs in
an Alice layout (F-Row and Arrows). The focus was to create
an Alice with a function row and arrows while trying to keep
the form-factor as close as possible to a normal Alice
layout in width.
