Zen Keyboard

A split ergo keyboard with a few goals in mind:

Be as thin as possible. Other split KBs (Let's Split, Nyquist, Iris) are 15.2mm thick. The Zen is only 8.0mm thick.
Layout designed for gaming. 1.5u pinky keys, ortho alphas, and angled thumb keys. After trying Ortholinear, Atreus62, and Ergodox, this is the best layout for gaming and typing.
RGB backlighting. 16 WS2812b LEDs shine through the perimeter switches. The SK6812 variant are cheap and easy to solder.
Price. Using Arduino Pro Micro, SK6812 LEDs, and PCB FR4 for the case, the cost of each half without switches or caps can be reduced to under $20 when purchased at volume.
