+# Arisu Keyboard PCB
+アリス PCB designed using KiCad. The layout is inspired by Lyn's EM7 and TGR Alice with some modification of my own.
+
+Key differences:
+- I removed the extra [B] key on the right half and shifted the [NM,.?] row to the left by 0.25U.
+- Shifted the 3 keys to the right and added arrow keys.
+- Tweaked the bottom so that the 1.5U keys doesn't protrude out a little.
+
+Shifting the [NM,.?] row to the left by 0.25U required quite some work on the arrangement of keys for the right half.
+As a result, this does not give the same typing experience as Lyn's EM7 and TGR Alice.
+Lyn's EM7 and TGR Alice uses the home row as the center point to vertically align both halves while I used the number row instead.
+Due to the nature of staggered keyboards, aligning using the number row resulted in the home row not being aligned.
+

+## Assembly
+For the components required, you may refer to the bill of materials included along with the release as reference or load up the design file in KiCad.
+All the components can be soldered using a regular soldering iron, though soldering the Micro USB receptacle might be the biggest hurdle.
