Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #199
Check out this week's editorial with awesome projects, tips, ideas, discount codes, etc!
Hey y'all,
A few notable keyboard-related projects I thought were worth highlighting this time around:
- Review: The Evoworks Evo75 is an elegant 75% tri-mode wireless keyboard with ball-catch mechanism and leaf-spring structure, coming in a multitude of beautiful variants. Meticulously designed and tuned for an exceptional out-of-the-box typing experience.
- Dane Lipscombe shared his Tengoku, a split keyboard with keywell and trackpads.
- ChnMasterOG released the TrackPoint78, a three-mode wireless keyboard with built-in trackpoint.
- An open-source wireless ergo keyboard with trackpad and encoder: Daedalus by Perseus-Lynx.
- The Clacky Chan by Stephan Møller is an ergo split with custom tenting and firmware.
- A major update to axseem's open-source wireless split: Anywhy Flake v2.
- The Sputnik by Vostoklabs is a cheap handwired Corne-derivative, designed with focus on sound.
- Jakmazdev's simple, parametric tenting solution via Magsafe for any split keyboard setup.
