Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #182
Check out this week's editorial with awesome projects, tips, ideas, meetups, discount codes, etc!
Hey y'all,
Happy/Marry everything! Here are some of the news I thought were worth sharing this time:
-
I reviewed the Epomaker Alice 66: An affordable Alice style keyboard -- hotswap, QMK/Via, tri-mode wireless. Great features, great switches, but a bit loud case for my taste.
-
Advent Calendar: Rain2, a newcomer to the keyboard community, reflects on this year's achievements, sharing how an addiction to keyboard design has taken hold.
-
Raul Huertas shared his Nuty Mini, a wireless split in a nice tented case.
-
A low-pro 60% split with number row, encoders, and displays - Dodo by gorbit99.
-
Skarrmann's Tackle is a wearable wireless ortholinear keyboard - strapped to your torso.
-
The roBa by kuma is a split keyboard with a trackball - inspired by Yowkees' Keyball.
-
A redesign of the Sweep: K02 by Lu Immich.
-
Cássio Ávila's Carpo is a 36-key low-profile split keyboard - wireless and Choc-spaced.
As always: much more projects and resources in my weekly (sort of) editorial write-up, switch database, MK meetup calendar and keyboard shop database - with 500+ keyboard vendors!
