Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue #205
Check out this week's editorial with some original content, awesome projects, tips, ideas, discount codes, etc!
Hey y'all,
Here are a few notable keyboard-related posts I thought were worth highlighting this time around:
- A combined review of the KiiBOOM Meow Pudding PC keycap set and the blue KiiBOOM Phantom 81 Lite keyboard.
- An open-source wireless split keyboard by yyevax: Xavient is available both in 36-key or 42-key configs.
- The MX Unsaver is a custom keyboard and numpad by nearestexit: inspired by the vintage IBM "Unsaver".
- MagoSaronno's split Keyther is a Cantor-derivative -- halves connected by an Ethernet cable.
- The wireless Ashwing64 by Flexyjerkov is a 64-key monoblock keyboard with exposed diodes.
- A 52-key wireless split keyboard: Phanny by zackattack.
- A 36-key monoblock split based on the Yolochka: Yolochka Remastered by turtle_bazon -- with open-source PCB.
- Bonus review: A top-tier, ultralight mouse in a cool magnesium/aluminum frame: AM Infinity. While I'm wary about such light mice as I prefer some heft for better control, I ended up using this fancy mouse as my daily driver at home.
- Exul released the files of his noname wireless split.
