Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #168
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 time, handpicked from projects published in the recent two weeks:
-
Moon60, the split by Przemysław Paciorek and Damian Pryszcz teased last time is open source now.
-
Shared by fooker, mnhTTn is a 36-key column-staggered split keyboard using Cherry MX ULP switches.
-
A new unibody split created by dohn-joh: Alias -- with the hallmark lever keycaps.
- Tien Pham's Form Zero is a gasket mounted hotswap ortholinear keyboard.
- Lexicon is a 65% "writing keyboard" designed by Ewen Cluney -- steno-light with a layer full of whole words.
- Dane Lipscombe shared his Harite, a split input device with 5-way switches and trackpads.
- Jerome Olivier released a nice unibody split: Jack32 -- with splay and only one thumb key.
- The Re-gret is a 34-key remix of the Egret keyboard -- both unibody splits designed by Ryan Schenk.
- National Keyboard Meetup Day is coming, this year it falls on July 27th. With lots of meetups and live streams.
- Joe's ScottoModules is a series of Kicad templates that hopes to make designing integrated MCU boards a bit simpler. The first release is based upon the STM32F072CBT6.
As always, much more resources in my weekly editorial write-up, MK meetup calendar and keyboard shop database - with 500+ keyboard vendors!
