+
+A low profile 38 key split keyboard featuring rotary encoder and trackpoint support.
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [DoomishGuy](https://codeberg.org/DoomishGuy)
+* Hardware Supported: RP2040 Pro Micro and compatible
+* Hardware Availability: [DoomishGuy/alatus](https://codeberg.org/DoomishGuy/alatus)
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+    make alatus:default
+
+Flashing example for this keyboard:
+
+    make alatus:default:flash
+
+See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
+
+## Bootloader
+
+Enter the bootloader in 2 ways:
+
+* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the top left/right key (for the left/right splits respectively) and plug in the keyboard.
+* **Physical reset button**: Press the reset button below the microcontroller twice in quick succession.
