'Cosmos Keyboard' is a website where you can freely arrange trackballs, displays, trackpads, and encoders, and freely adjust the angle to design a keyboard that fits your hand.
In today's society, where we need to use a PC for work, study, and many other tasks, finding the perfect keyboard for you is extremely important in terms of efficiency. Cosmos Keyboard , developed by developer rianadon, allows you to freely create a keyboard that suits you on the site.

The Cosmos Keyboard Configurator will open. You can change the angle by dragging with the mouse. You can also freely change the position by holding down Ctrl and dragging.
The items on the left allow you to configure various settings related to the keyboard. In 'Upper Keys,' you can add number keys, function keys, etc., and you can freely select the key caps and key switches to be used on the keyboard.
'Curvature' allows you to set the angle of your keyboard steplessly. If the angle changes and the keys interfere with each other, the 'Keycaps Intersect' error message will be displayed in the upper right corner.
