Introduction

kōyō is a sleek, minimalistic keyboard layout, designed with a 34-key split configuration. Its name is inspired by the harmony and elegance of Japanese aesthetics and the calming feeling of autumn leaves.

In Japanese, kōyō (紅葉) translates to "autumn leaves" and is used to describe the phenomenon of leaves changing color in the autumn season. The word is composed of two kanji characters: kō (紅) meaning "crimson" and yō (葉) meaning "leaf".
