Check out this week's editorial with some original content, awesome projects, tips, ideas, discount codes, etc!
Hey y'all,
Sorry for the frustration, it seems that I messed up most of the links in my previous newsletter. Anyway, here are a few notable keyboard-related posts I thought were worth highlighting this time around:
- Again, September’s mechanical switch toplist has been published -- and the Oil King has finally been dethroned (by the Type R). Check out how the community's favorites stack up, based on vendor sales data.
- Keyboard review: The 75% wireless Womier ERA75 was a very fun build. Nicely cut alu case in six themes, hotswap switches and encoder, double-shot caps, VIA support. The DIY stickers will keep you busy for some time.
- Bonus review: The Redragon Eclipse K720 Pro is a 75% wireless gamer(?) board with pretty impressive features for the price: CNC alu case, display, rotary knob, cool decoration lights.
- The Visorbearer by carrefinho is a 34-key wireless unibody split keyboard with cool indicators.
- An ultra-low-profile wireless split keyboard supporting Cherry MX ULP and PG1316S switches: Delta Omega by unspecworks.
- A low-profile split keyboard with Corne 42 layout and Cherry ULP switches: ULK by Goga64.
- Tschibo00 shared the TokeyO+, a 33-key unibody split with a '70s vibe.
- TuxedoMakes released the Mantaray Pro Wireless, a split version of his Voyager-inspired, originally monoblock Mantaray. Available as kit or prebuilt.
- The Dial Gboard is Google Japan's yet another crazy input device.
As always: much more news and resources in my weekly editorial write-up, switch database, MK meetup calendar and keyboard shop database - with 600+ keyboard vendors!
