# Pteron56
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Pteron56 is a 56-key vertically staggered ortholinear keyboard with a 15 degree inward tilt per hand.
|
|
|
|
Initially developed by [FSund](https://github.com/fsund), this keyboard was designed to potentially reduce wrist and typing strain by offsetting the keys in a manner that mimics the natural stagger of the human hand with 4 thumb keys per side arranged around an ~85mm arc to mimic the swimg of one's mighty thumbs.
|
|
|
|
Users have reported reduced finger movement, reduced wrist movement, and better typing comfort and swiftness with the Pteron layouts compared to a standard keyboard.

## Bootloader
|
|
|
|
Enter the bootloader thusly:
|
|
* **Keycode in layout**: Press and hold the right most thumb key on the left side (LT(2(KC_ALT)) and while that is held, hit the top left key on the left side of the keyboard (KC_ESC) which will reset the board and enter bootloader mode.

Thumb and pinky is my method, but do what you will.
