Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #172
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:
- Protieusz's unibody Flower, a Noraneko42W variant, comes with Willow layout and interchangeable trackball.
- Cassio Zen's Fat Bee is a row-staggered monoblock split with fixed tenting angle.
- Alex Miller shared his Goober, a Hummingbird-like hotswap monoblock keyboard driven by a RP2040 Zero.
- Gehennakid's Doro62 is a wireless hotswap keyboard with a unique 60%-ish layout.
- The Mechabasilisk is another Dactyl-like ergo split designed by Radliński Ignacy in Fusion360.
- Sadek Baroudi's bykeeb is a 36-key wireless-only split keyboard with MX/Choc/GLP support.
- Based on his trackpoint builds, heyisjambo shares his experiences on how to integrate a trackpoint into your keyboard (ZMK).
- Tien Pham's Form Uno is a monoblock split with number row and dedicated arrow keys.
- Solder Party is expanding their Stamp line with new controllers: the RP2350 Stamp and Stamp XL are devboards with up to 48 GPIO pins.
As always: much more resources in my weekly editorial write-up, MK meetup calendar and keyboard shop database - with 500+ keyboard vendors!
