The Adelheid is a 75% Alice-like keyboard.
It's a fork of FateNozomi's Arisu files: Arisu PCB & Arisu case

Miscellaneous
Why?
I think accessing the function keys with a layer on the number row is the superior method as it's faster and more comfortable because you barely have to move your hands. I found myself trying to access the function row one-handedly quite often and nothing beats the comfort of pressing a single dedicated key. By default you can still access the function keys via the number row on the secondary layer.
Where does the name Adelheid come from?
I thought it'd be nice to continue the somewhat tradition of naming Alice-clones by putting a spin on the forename Alice, just like the Arisu, Lisa and Majbritt did. I chose Adelheid as a German spin on the name.
The typeface is called Fraktur and was the dominant typeface during the time when Adelheid was one of the most popular names.
Will you add more keys to the bottom row or a second B key?
I don't plan on changing the bottom row or adding a second B key. In my opinion the keyboard looks the best and most balanced the way Fate designed it.
