- Gleb is back with a classy one-handed chording keyboard: the 10-key Sexy Artsey.
- LeBallz is a Le Chiffre variant by Protieusz -- with a 25mm trackball and an optional EC11 encoder.
- The Kingslayer 28 is a custom gaming keypad designed by Ognjen Bjeletic.
- A stunning unibody split with optional encoder: Ashwing66 by James Gzowski.
- A hybrid wired no-stabs 1800 keyboard: N3v4 by wjrii.
- CrackerBot's Crowkb_46 is a split 3x6 with low placed thumb clusters.
