These keyboard layouts implement the idea suggested in the publication of Edgar Matias, also endorsed in XKCD blog.
The layouts optimize the work for a one-handed user: Space+letter produces a letter from the opposite side of the keyboard, mirrored along the TGB-YHN axis. They also add a few more combinations for easier accessibility (such as issuing a Ctrl-Alt-Del with one hand).
The current design offers a standard QWERTY keyboard, optimized for one-handed input: it does not need any physical work to assemble (you only need to load a new QMK firmware), and it works for one-handed input by both left and right hands. It also works for bilateral hand amputees.

Outdated designs:
- CSTC40 planck keyboard (before November 2024), redesigned for the left or right hand. It requires a physical work on attaching the keycaps and a bit of handwriting. KPrepublic started selling a different model of the keyboard under the same name in November 2024, so this firmware would not work on it.
