Background:
I’ve been a very big fan of the WKL 60% layout since I saw xondat do it for the first X60 run. I definitely thought it was weird at first but after using an MX HHKB board I realized they’re more or less the same, just with slightly different blocker situations. I think with the popularity of the X60, combined with the success of the E6-V2 and its WKL version, followed by the QXP, and now with KBDFans’ budget Tofu option, we’re entering the golden era of WKL 60%.
If you know me you know I’m a huge Japan buff and the mythology and folklore is not excluded – my 78-key layout (only teased in Discord :p) design draws its name from the sword passed down from the gods to the imperial family, Kusanagi. In a similar sense this board draws its name from the mythological three-legged raven that symbolizes divine intervention.
Please keep in mind that this is a very early design and I am seeking out community feedback and constructive criticism (as well as find out what board I unintentionally copied)!


Thanks for checking this out and I hope you like it.
