+# NQG: Not Quite Gherkin
+
+
+
+NQG (Not Quite Gherkin) is a 30% ortholinear keyboard with a macro key and dedicated row for thumb keys, made by emptystring studio.
+
+Keyboard Maintainer: [Culturalsnow](http://github.com/culturalsnow)
+Hardware Supported: NQG PCB, Pro Micro
+Hardware Availability: Kits are available from [SA_EndlessGame](http://twitter.com/SA_EndlessGame)
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make emptystring/NQG: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).
