Hi |FNAME|,
Here are the DIY keyboard related posts I thought were worth sharing this week: 1. The Swoop (https://kbd.news/Swoop-1200.html) is a lobster-themed open-source Sweep/Ferris derivative by Jim Merricks White. 2. Files released for the X-2 (https://kbd.news/X-2-a-Lumberjack-style-ortho-1202.html) , a Lumberjack-inspired ARM-powered 5x12 ortho by Richard Goulter. 3. The Mist (https://kbd.news/One-handed-Mist-1203.html) by defiant00 is a one-handed, mirrored keyboard with an own firmware and chording layout. 4. Little Big Scroll (https://kbd.news/Little-Big-Scroll-1196.html) â an open-source macropad with encoder designed by Tweetydabirdie. 5. The PD40 (https://kbd.news/PD40-ortho-1197.html) is a 40% wireless ortho handwired by Peter Dye â with case files and build log. 6. A ZMK Atreus (https://kbd.news/Blawb-s-ZMK-Atreus-1204.html) by blawb with resin keycaps. 7. Tips: open-source thumb paddles (https://kbd.news/Thumb-paddle-1198.html) by Troy Fletcher â for activating switches with less thumb motion. 8. Ever wondered how much time it takes to learn an alternative layout? Here are the main stages and impressions of Tanukishouten switching to Colemak (https://kbd.news/Switching-to-Colemak-1201.html) during the holidays. 9. Ben Vallack’s video demonstrates a workflow of making your custom PCB (https://kbd.news/Custom-PCB-design-workflow-1206.html) with Ergopad, Ergogen and KiCAD. 10. Vintage vibes: a quite rare Videoton terminal (https://kbd.news/Videoton-VDN-52500-terminal-1199.html) â made in Hungary in the early ’80s. Acquired by myself. :D 11. Finally, the HX-S by Hakkei (https://kbd.news/Hakkei-HX-S-1205.html) is a classy detachable split prototype with uniquely scooped case/plate.
