A hotswap H88-Compact Type-C compatible ortholinear TKL PCB that uses ergodox modifiers. Based on the [Boardwalk](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/boardwalk)'s split hand layout, with the addtion of 6u and split 3u spacebar stabilizer support. F13 and F12 layouts are supported. The F13 location also supports a rotary encoder. The default layout will have 1.5u vertical inner modifiers, but it is possible to convert the center keys to 1u by soldering hotswap sockets. The board is designed to be compatible with H88-C type C boards and the outline of the board was based on zykrah's [slime88 pcb](https://github.com/zykrah/slime88). The usb C port can be broken off and used with a JST connector and daughterboard.

The name is meant to be read "Kousa Tenkeyless". "Kousaten" (交差点) means intersection or crossing in Japanese. I wanted the name to be a nod to the Boardwalk without using u/shensmobile's naming conventions and Crosswalk seemed pretty close, but then I realized "crossing" in Japanese is "kousaten" and I thought it would call it the Kousa Tenkeyless!
