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.

When shopping for key caps, you need the following:

• 7x R4 1u (Esc, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Delete)
• 1x R3 1.5u (Tab)
• 4x R3 1u (Q, W, E, R)
• 1x ISO Enter

• 4x R2 1u (A, S, D, F)
• 4x R1 1u (Ctrl, Fn, C, V)

Obviously you can ignore the rows when shopping for uniform key caps. ;)
