The Avalanche keyboard is an ergonomic split keyboard with 4x6 (or 3x6 if you break off the 'digits' row) column staggered keys, 5 thumb keys, 1 additional key for the pinky (break off-able too) and 2 additional keys for the index finger (64 keys total).
Avalanche design was inspired by a number of great keyboards. You may read more about it in my very first reddit post.

- ZMK from our friend romones. According to him: "Keyboard works, encoders work. I couldn’t figure out lights and displays. And if you plan to use it note there is an override for a dead pin in right overlay".
