Might send this one out to get made. Not sure yet.

- Added 2 more LEDs to the edge and positioned them to be a little more evenly spread out.
- Rerouted all LED traces for better aesthetics and functionality.
- Increased power trace size. This might not be needed but it can't hurt to add with the addition of the LEDs.
- Removed programming headers. This was a personal decision as I never used them or found a need for them. It helped free up some space to route LEDs.
- Updated library, images, gerbies and BOM.
- Added a firmware that has not been tested yet, but should work in theory.
- No more position files. Too many issues at various fab houses with positions/parts/QA with previous boards.

# THIS IS STILL A WIP! NO GUARANTEES ON ANYTHING

# Arisutea RGB Underglow - Arisu Keyboard PCB with More Modifications...now with MORE!
- [ ] v0.3 Arisutea RGB PCBs ordered
- [ ] Assemble Arisutea RGB PCB once received
- [ ] Assemble Acrylic Case to Arisutea RGB design
- [ ] Edit QMK firmware for Arisutea RGB design

## Arisutea RGB Underglow - Arisu Keyboard PCB with More Modifications...now with MORE!

アリステア PCB designed using KiCad. The layout was originally created by FateNozomi, inspired by Lyn's EM7 and TGR Alice with some modification. The layout was then modified by CorruptedJef and robotictomato to add USB-C, ESD and to shift/add some keys. This inspired me to modify the layout further by adding the ability to swap your switches out whenever you want and to make some keys a little more permenant. I have designed many boards in the past but never a keyboard so this is my first crack at it and I figured why not go all out? If you notice any issue please open an issue and we can discuss!

Since the layout has been modified yet again I decided to give the project a new name, Arisutea, which translates to Alistair. Obviously keeping the theme running here.

- Addition of full backspace position, connected to switch 59 (row 0, column 13).
- Removed switch 63 and repositioned switch 59 to add full backspace position.
- USB-C ESD rework.
- Added 14 SK6812Mini-E underglow LEDs around the edge.
- Added 16 SK6812Mini-E underglow LEDs around the edge.
- Added LED indicators for CAPS and NUM lock as well as layer.
- Updated JSON layout file for this particular keyboard.

## PCB Assembly

I am no longer including SMT/SMD position files for any fab house. There have been too many issues with positions wrong, missing parts, etc.

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 USB-C receptacle might be the biggest hurdle. I have made an adjustment to the USB footprint to allow for a little more error when handsoldering. If needed, the BOM and POS file can be used on JLCPCB to assemble the PCB although I have not used their service I cannot confirm its accuracy or quality.
