Rookey, as the name implies, is a DIY keyboard "Rookie" creation.

With its small number of parts and simple structure, it can be easily completed even by first-time assemblers.

Despite its small size, it can be used as a 9-key macro pad, and a rotary encoder can also be attached.

It can be used not only as a first unit, but also as a long-lasting unit.

初めての一台としてはもちろん、永く使い続ける一台としても愛用することができます。

## Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
