+A split 34 keys column staggered keyboard named and decorated after the rustlang mascott. All PCB files and some thoughts on the design are available on the [project's github page](https://github.com/pierrechevalier83/ferris)
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [Pierre Chevalier](https://github.com/pierrechevalier83)
+* Hardware Supported: Ferris PCB
+* Hardware Availability: Still in prototype stage
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+    make handwired/ferris:default
+
+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).
