Hey |FNAME|,
Here are 15 things I thought were worth sharing this week: 1. KBD.news is on Twitter (https://twitter.com/KbdNews) now. 2. The open frame design of this Dactyl flex (https://kbd.news/Dactyl-flex-912.html) by remus49 supports pivoting thumb keys and adjustable tenting. 3. The rISOtho (https://kbd.news/The-rISOtho-921.html) is an ortholinear-ISO mashup by eLRIC. 4. Innovation: The cool-looking variable force leaf spring mount (https://kbd.news/Leaf-spring-mount-911.html) by _dvsn. 5. Project updates: The open-source through-hole Framework (https://kbd.news/7c8-Framework-with-acrylic-cover-915.html) by stevennguyen has a new component cover. 6. Foam and plate files for Foostan’s unibody Cornelius (https://kbd.news/Cornelius-920.html) released. 7. TeXitoi’s KeySeeBee (https://kbd.news/Keyseebee-with-fat-plate-918.html) has a new fat switch plate, sitting on the PCB. 8. Accessories: Baji (https://kbd.news/Baji-An-edge-clamp-Minidox-case-919.html) is a 3D printable Minidox Case by Metafalls_. 9. A 3D printable nice!nano holder (https://kbd.news/nice-nano-holder-922.html) by Nathanielks for Fmcraft’s TBK Mini. 10. Tips: Make your own set of keycaps with silicone molds and UV-curable resin. Keycap casting (https://kbd.news/Resin-keycap-casting-917.html) tutorial by Adafruit. 11. A one-handed writer (https://kbd.news/End-QWERTY-hegemony-913.html) âs search for the perfect mechanical keyboard reveals some personal experiences and a unique perspective. 12. Keyboard spotting: The IBM System 32 (https://kbd.news/IBM-System-32-5320-910.html) is built into a desk and its “display” is a tractor feed printer. 13. Eye candy: check the blue wave profile (side view) of this Chyron battleship (https://kbd.news/Chyron-Duet-914.html) (used to update a scoreboard at a baseball stadium). 14. A photo from the Science Museum in London opened up a whole new world to me: that of printing telegraphs (https://kbd.news/Hughes-printing-telegraph-1860-923.html) . 15. Outside of the box: The Key-Flex (https://kbd.news/Key-Flex-keyboards-916.html) by Seth Garlock is not just unique, it also led me to Douglas Engelbart’s work and The Mother of All Demos from 1968.
