Hi |FNAME|,
Here are the things I thought were worth sharing this week: 1. The RART45 (https://kbd.news/RART45-985.html) is a unibody angled split by Alabahuy with Atmel328p and exposed through-hole components. 2. The 30% Midge (https://kbd.news/The-Midge-986.html) is what was left after jamesmnw kept cutting things away. 3. An OLKB terminal (https://kbd.news/x) by jeffeb3 featuring a Void30. Both open-source. 4. The Hermit (https://kbd.news/Hermit-989.html) is a split keyboard by @orihikarna with some really interesting details. 5. Arpeggiating vs chording. The Peggi (https://kbd.news/Peggi-an-arpeggio-keyboard-987.html) is an eight-key arpeggio keyboard by Ian Henry. 6. A photolog of making a wooden wrist rest (https://kbd.news/How-to-make-a-wooden-wrist-rest-990.html) by lawndartdesign. 7. Neat handwiring by n0t_dane using brass tubes (https://kbd.news/Brass-tube-handwiring-991.html) instead of magnet wire. 8. Fantastic-Onion4292 posted some photos of the USB-C Pro Micro (https://kbd.news/USB-C-Pro-Micro-size-comparison-992.html) compared to the classic one. 9. A modified Gherkin (https://kbd.news/Brute-force-encoder-integration-993.html) by bgkendall featuring a hacked PCB and a rotary encoder. 10. Years of pain solved by a really obvious keyboard tweak (https://kbd.news/Double-keyboard-ergonomics-994.html) . 11. Well, mrprofessor007 was supposed to buy a house, instead (https://kbd.news/IBM-3278-995.html) … 12. I keep working on my Keyboard Vendor Database (https://kbd.news/vendors) . It lists 300 shops now, as well as 16 discount codes.
