Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #187
Check out this week's editorial with awesome projects, tips, ideas, discount codes, etc!
Hey y'all,
Here are some of the news I thought were worth sharing this time:
- Will Pucket writes about experimenting with smaller boards and collaging layouts, trying to make his board fulfill its promise of comfort. Featuring the Sessile, a 28-key monoblock split keyboard.
- Veronica of Keykrush talks about the development journey of the ORCA - an exciting wireless ergo split keyboard in the fundraising phase.
- PHDesign's PH60 is an open-source 60% keyboard project - now with a HHKB variant.
- Arctic is a 60% wireless split keyboard shared by Yamil Essus.
- RaphCoder13 shared a handwired 40% split: Porg40 with trackpad and LED matrix.
- A noname 3D-printed ergo keyboard with keywell and semi-parametric design - by Gregory Zhizhilkin.
- A wireless split with katana layout: Sai44 by leafflat.
- Finally, a cute macropad with ISO Enter: ISO13715 by Daniel Gotteswinter.
As always: much more projects and resources in my weekly editorial write-up, switch database, MK meetup calendar and keyboard shop database - with 500+ keyboard vendors!
