Hey |FNAME|,
Here are 12 things I thought were worth sharing this week: 1. The Osprey (https://kbd.news/The-Osprey-keyboard-953.html) is xapheau’s open-source unibody ergonomic keyboard with columnar staggering. 2. Source files of Tweetydabirdie’s DaNumPads (https://kbd.news/DaNumPad-949.html) are available on GitHub. 3. Adjustable keyboard columns with modular PCBs for prototyping (https://kbd.news/Magnetic-layout-prototyping-955.html) â this time with magnets by key-yack. 4. A funky open-source Iris case (https://kbd.news/Custom-Iris-case-958.html) by COrthbandt with light diffuser layer. 5. A solar wireless keyboard (https://kbd.news/Wireless-solar-board-950.html) that never has to be plugged in. Committed by SouthPawEngineer. 6. Showcasing the Riskeyboard 70’s features, riskable introduces the GEM profile created with his Keycap Playground tool (https://kbd.news/Parametric-keycap-design-951.html) . 7. Hm. The T-34/0 layout (https://kbd.news/Logical-layout-design-repeater-key-960.html) by jonas_h features a repeater key which would be the 12th most frequent âletterâ based on his corpus. 8. TTC Wild linears (https://kbd.news/TTC-Wild-switch-review-956.html) reviewed by ThereminGoat. 9. A video by Don drew my attention to Mountain Keyboards, a new Australian shop offering recycled aluminium keycaps (https://kbd.news/Recycled-aluminium-keycaps-959.html) with environmentally friendly packaging and a socially responsible twist. 10. This follow-up shot (https://kbd.news/The-effect-of-WD-40-on-switches-952.html) by gidders369 demonstrates the effect of WD-40 on some switches treated 1 year ago. 11. A cool retro terminal (https://kbd.news/Electronic-Control-Systems-display-terminal-T-03-954.html) in a Hugh Jeffreys video. Don’t watch this while you’re eating… 12. Keyboard spotting: TerraElaya found this gorgeous NOS Dell AT101W (https://kbd.news/Dell-AT101W-NOS-957.html) with black Alps.
