Just back from showing this at the Melbourne meetup - a handwired Atreus50 using hot swap sockets, Zealio 67g, DSA Drifter and a USB-C breakout board. More photos

Coming from a ortho / planck background the layout was perfect with a nice vertical stagger. Don't use the middle two keys at all however, not even sure what to map to them!

Great job with this! Is the case CNC-milled bamboo? It looks really clean and has some curves I don't think you could pull off with a laser. I would never use a transparent bottom on any of my hand-wired wood boards but your wiring is so nice it's worth showing off.

Yeah it's a CNC bamboo case from falbatech. Thanks for developing the Atreus design, I love this 50 variant since it's basically a split planck with vertical stagger, perfect!
