Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #156
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 CAT by LYNXware, an incredible input device with a great potential. That said, you'll need some time to get accustomed to the custom software, the terminology, 22 thumb keys -- and mouse switches all over this thing!
- Dani Klein open sourced her Serendipity, a 60-key board with a pretty crazy layout: function row but no numbers.
- Viniciusbrit's Eobard is a 34-key open-source split keyboard with flippable PCB.
- A bluetooth PCB via SuperMini in a wooden case: PCB 68 keyboard by alan0ford.
- Joe's Scotto63 is a handwired unibody split. Wireless via nice!nano.
- EurKoi shared a 3D-printed case for the Corne in the style of Angrymiao's AFA.
- Penk shared a 3D printed Piantor case.
- A GB, but pretty much my taste, and also affordable: Dasky's Reverb is an MX or Choc hotswap monoblock split with circular display.
- WIP: a compact low-pro split with keywell by timbetimbe, and also Max Yakovlev's MRIYA.
- Something interesting from Epomaker: DynaTab 75X with a huge dot matrix screen.
Much more news and resources in my weekly editorial write-up, MK meetup calendar and keyboard shop database -- with 500+ keyboard vendors!
