The Nils Olav, named after a famous Scotch penguin, is an easy to build ortho keyboard by u/twigulus with lefty numpad (source).

Designed this quite unusual simple-to-build ortho with a lefty numpad (and a little penguin on it). Really pleased with it!
A github repo with design files, firmware and a build guide is here: https://github.com/ajharvie/nilsolav (yes it's named after a penguin)

There's a github repo here if anyone wants to build one themselves!
