Name

Meraki, is a greek word that means 'to do something with soul, creativity, or love; leaving a piece of yourself in what you do'.

Layout

The keyboard has a 65% WKL Layout. WKL stands for win-key-less, where the Windows key is removed from the keyboard, to give it a more symmetrical shape. WKL's are rarely seen in 65% form, which inspired me to make this board. I also opted for a blocker at the top right to fit the MCU.

Firmware

The Meraki65 uses qmk for its firmware. I also created a web-based software to re-map keys, called Keydeck.
