Check out this week's editorial with awesome projects, tips, ideas, meetups, discount codes, etc!
Hey y'all,
Here are some of the posts I thought were worth sharing this week:
- I reviewed the Weikav Record Alice, an ultra-affordable kit if we consider the anodized alu case and the neat leaf-spring suspension.
- President Bob Guenser sums up the history of Signature Plastics, creator and manufacturer of keycap profiles like SA and DSA, on occasion of preparing for retirement and searching for buyer candidates.
- Pabile published the files of the P60, a 5x12 ortholinear keyboard with RGB and encoder.
- Taiwanese keycap manufacturer Tai-Hao is about to roll out a new family of low-pro caps – for both Choc and MX switches.
- BFB_Workshop's Compaq'ed is an ortholinear replacement PCB for the Cherry G80-11800.
- Penk Chen's Rasti is a retro-futuristic laptop inspired by the iconic GRiD Compass – with his custom mechanical keyboard and keycap set.
- Zach Taylor shared his goshawk, a 3D printed, handwired split with only one controller and battery.
- SirFodds created a gasket-mounted unibody case for the Corne keyboard.
- More: 1U platelets, Tschibo00's Chaotist layout, Ambitent by Cerbekos, drawer-type case by Moeetech, Tomy macropad, etc.
