Check out the new issue with awesome projects, tips and ideas!


Hey y'all,

PSA: Buyers who ordered their MBK Legend caps from G-Boards haven't received their sets. Reach out to FKcaps if you are one of them.

Here are the posts I thought were worth sharing this week:

  1. Fmcraft published his Dilemma – a 5x3+2 split keyboard with trackpad.

  2. Sadek Baroudi's Arachnophobe is a 30-key Choc/MX monoblock split using any Seeed XIAO controller.

  3. Andrew Rae's rae-dux, a 36-key wire- and diodeless split keyboard, built by u/melze.

  4. The split Ortholily is ortholinear, 3D-printed, handwired – and it's marcdosh575's first keyboard design.

  5. Cockpit is a hotswap handwired monoblock split mechanical keyboard by ozkan.

  6. Zack Freedman talks about his MiRage Mk2, an ortho split with eInk display.

  7. CFX is a new low-pro keycap profile: 16.5x16.5mm square caps available at Chosfox in different colors.

  8. My impressions and a photodump of the doubleshot MDA "This Is Plastic" keycaps by MelGeek.

  9. Full body stacked Corne case open-sourced by atlantesque.

  10. A Hottek 1KB101 keyboard with HTK switches – reviewed by Chyrosran22.
