Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #173
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:
-
I reviewed GravaStar's crazy Mercury K1 Pro, a 75% wireless gaming keyboard featuring alien legs -- a board that's almost too good for gamers. ;) With recurring sci-fi motifs, an excellent typing experience, and so much more! Check it out.
-
Another review, another gaming board, but this time with a more classic look: The Immersion A3 by Hexgears is a brand-new wireless low-profile TKL keyboard coming with a color display and a classy brushed aluminum top plate.
-
A nice low-pro Hummingbird-like monoblock split by Reeve: ‘Ākohekohe.
-
A hotswap ortho with trackpad: Explorer Keyboard by DreaM117er.
-
Gehennakid's Doro56 is a 56-key split keyboard that uses normal mods.
-
A 32-key ergo split keyboard using Seeed Xiao BLE controllers: NostrumX by Bennytrouser.
-
CrackerRobot's crowkb_38 is a low-pro ergo split with splay and a lower-positioned thumb cluster.
As always: much more projects and resources in my weekly (sort of) editorial write-up, MK meetup calendar and keyboard shop database - with 500+ keyboard vendors!
