+
+A 12-key, orthogonal keypad designed by Can!
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [Can](https://github.com/canbaytok)
+* Hardware Supported: Pro Micro Atmega32u4
+* Hardware Availability: DIY with the [open-source design files](https://github.com/canbaytok/Cans12er)
+
+Schematic can be found here: [EasyEDA](https://easyeda.com/senordoenermann/mediapad)
+
+Build Instructions can be found here: [canbaytok/Cans12er](https://github.com/canbaytok/Cans12er)
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+    make handwired/cans12er: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).
