Weekly BTS #2023/28 - Keyboard Builders' Digest
Keyboard Builders' Digest // Weekly BTS
Hey y'all,
Just a quick summary this time. Some links from the blog and my weekly editorial post:
- Protieus(z) published his Smile36, a cute sub-40% keyboard with an encoder and Grin layout.
- Moai is a small, low(ish) profile monoblock split keyboard designed by 4itor.
- Easonstons shared Apodiformbird, a 18-key minimalist monoblock split inspired by the Hummingbird.
- Alexandre Plateau shared his Arkenswoop, a Lord of the Rings themed revision of the Swoop – and much more!
- CustomMK's David designed ErgoStrafer, a mechanical replacement for the Merc Stealth's gaming pad.
- Minidov by akadabas. More on this later.
- QVEX_Tech shared a web-based tool for flashing Avr109 boards (primarily Atmega32u4). It should work with all operating systems under Chromium browsers.
- ZSA is saying goodbye to the Planck EZ. "It'll become a collector's item, a piece of keyboard history. :) So, if you ever wanted one, now's the time."
- PillBug BLE by MechWild. A Bluetooth replacement for the BlackPill. (Preorder)
- Wellum is a callum-styled logical layout by Nikita Shirokov.
