+![NEK Type A Keyboard](https://i.imgur.com/XFnjlQ9.jpg)
+
+Natural Ergonomic Keyboard, Type A
+
+Keyboard Maintainer: [Mike Roberts](https://github.com/ecopoesis)
+Hardware Supported: Custom PCBs from https://github.com/ecopoesis/nek-type-a
+Hardware Availability: https://github.com/ecopoesis/nek-type-a
+
+## Design
+
+This is a column-driven split keyboard using three custom PCBs connected with ribbon cables. The left and right PCBs are
+passive: they only have the diodes and switches needed to make the matrix. The center PCB has an Adafruit Feather 32u4 and
+MCP23017 expander.
+
+The left matrix has its rows and columns directly connected to the Feather. The right matrix has its rows connect to the
+Feather (using the same pins as the left matrix) and its columns connected to the expander. The expander uses the LUFA
+hardware TWI driver.
+
+Bluetooth is enabled.
+
+## Building
+
+Make and install this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+```
+make nek_type_a:default:avrdude
+```
+
+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).
