Hi |FNAME|,
Here are 12 things I thought were worth sharing this week: 1. I published a keyboard/part shop database (https://kbd.news/vendors/) listing 250 stores from all around the world (and growing). Discount codes coming in. Check it out. 2. The Choctopus44 (https://kbd.news/Choctopus44-964.html) by Routa Keebs is practically a low-pro Reviung with thumb arcs. 3. Another ergo monoblock (https://kbd.news/Zephirum-an-ergo-monoblock-967.html) angled keyboard with some unique features by u/cdc_mkb. Publishing it as open-source was inspired by KBD! :) 4. Croaky4 (https://kbd.news/Croaky4-966.html) : u/Superkelp’s first attempt at a PCB & case design â an open-source macropad. 5. The Manibus (https://kbd.news/Manibus-a-split-aluminum-keyboard-970.html) is a split ergo aluminum keyboard by u/DrFish96 featuring magnetic wrist rests. 6. MCC (https://kbd.news/MCC-keycap-profile-962.html) is a cylindrical keycap profile by u/MoErgo who also teases us with a mysterious new keyboard. 7. W60 (https://kbd.news/W60-by-wlard-963.html) is an open-source, 3D-printed, handwired, hotswap keyboard by u/wlard. 8. With minimal experience, eBay scrapwood, popsicle sticks and a hand saw u/bruh-iunno made his own wooden case (https://kbd.news/Slide-mount-wooden-case-965.html) . 9. STLs of theGiddyNorse’s tenting solution (https://kbd.news/Lily58-tenting-files-971.html) for his Lily58. 10. Keyboard spotting: RedCowl80 got this nice Chicony Kb-5160 (https://kbd.news/Chicony-Kb-5160-with-blue-Alps-972.html) for free from a recycling center he frequents. 11. Introducing the 1x2 (https://kbd.news/Recreating-the-1x2-LEGO-keyboard-969.html) : bringing a 25 year old keyboard sin back from the grave and on to your desk! Committed by u/jonathansouter. 12. Donâs The Board (https://theboard.libsyn.com/) podcast turns 5 (!) and SharktasticAâs IBM knowledge base (https://sharktastica.co.uk/) 2. Congratulations!
