  2. No Faff is an open-hardware 24-key macropad with cool backplate art – designed by Kfir.

  3. Keybon is a customizable OLED macropad that adapts to the apps you use – designed by Max.K.

  4. Joshua Broekhuijsen's Dichotomy is a mouse-keyboard hybrid.

  5. Hackaday' Odd Inputs and Peculiar Peripherals Contest is over. Check out the winners.

  6. Seeed Fusion launched a new keyboard contest with free prototyping and nice prizes. Click for the details.

  7. The Smiling Orca, shared by leo_beekeeb, is a low-profile keycap optimized for Choc spacing.

  8. A 3D-printable Lily58 case with STLs – designed and published by DCharlo.

  9. WDA is a sculpted, spherical, middle-height keycap profile. The first set is available at zFrontier.

  10. Loitering_Potato posted his find and commenters tried to figure out what it is.

  11. Cipulot posted some photos of his latest find too: an electro-capacitive Sony BKE-9400A.
