# The Noisy Cricket (Mini Gaming Keyboard)
A minimal keyboard with just the basic keys for gaming on the go. Mostly targeted at FPS games with a focus on `W` `A` `S` `D`.
The layout can be customimzed via the QMK firware. The default layout looks like this:
```
╔═══╤═══╤═══╤═══╤═══╤═══╤═══╗
║Esc│ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ 4 │ 5 │Del║
╟───┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴───╢
║ Tab │ Q │ W │ E │ R │Enter║
╟─────┴┬──┴┬──┴┬──┴┬──┴┐ ║
║Shift │ A │ S │ D │ F │ ║
╟───┬──┴┬──┴┬──┴┬──┴───┴┬───╢
║Ctl│Fn │ C │ V │ Space │Mut║
╚═══╧═══╧═══╧═══╧═══════╧═══╝
```
The `Mute` key is a rotary encoder that also controlles volume.
