+# Battleship Gamepad
+
+![Battleship Gamepad](https://imgur.com/FCpQfzQ.jpg)
+
+A hand-wired 3d-printed mechanical keyboard intended for one hand with an analog thumbstick for movement. The layout matches the left side of large "battleship" keyboards with their extra bank of 2x5 1u F keys.
+
+Build instructions and 3d printer files can be found in the [project github repo](https://github.com/abraini-Nascent/battleship_gamepad)
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [arbraini](https://github.com/abraini-Nascent)
+* Hardware Supported: Arduino Pro Micro
+* Features: 40 keys in an ortho layout and an analog thumbstick.
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+    make handwired/battleship_gamepad:default
+    
+Flashing example for this keyboard:
+
+    make handwired/battleship_gamepad:flash
+
+## Bootloader
+
+Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
+
+* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (the top left key in the 2x5 bank) 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 `RESET`.  In the default layout this is the key at (0,0) on layer 1.
