Check out the new issue with awesome projects, tips and ideas!


Hey y'all,

Here are the posts I thought were worth sharing this week:

  1. KBDcraft released a LEGO-compatible numpad: Addams is a versatile companion for BoyU's widely popular original Adams kit.
  2. Last Friday marked the 9 year anniversary of starting FalbaTech. Holy moly, congrats again! I reached out to Jan with some questions for an interview, and he offered you an extra discount (scroll to the bottom of the article).
  3. Yan T shared his Flactyl, a pretty unique wireless split with 6-key flat thumb clusters.
  4. The UT22 is a gorgeous 22-key unibody split for the Artsey/Taipo input systems – created by Bubbleology.
  5. Hm. What is going on here? Another artsey keyboard?! Artsy Fartsy by GrO3veman.
  6. Sadek Baroudi turned the Ximi into a unibody split by designing a new tented case.
  7. u/admwscki's kicad-kbplacer is a KiCad plugin using KLE layouts to place switches and diodes automatically.
  8. Protieusz made Batarang, a bat-shaped unibody split keyboard with trackpad and ISO enter.
  9. Ilya Leonov's Lapa is an ergo split, the rare keyboard-mouse kind -- with a mouse sensor on the bottom.
