Chosfox has started teasing their coming Geonix release.

Got the 3D printed filler plates designed, printed, and installed!

Have to write the firmware and test everything… 44 keys mono pcb split olkb

Geonix48 from Chosfox. Trimmed it down to my preferred 34 key layout, using Callum-style timerless one-shot mods. Planning to design/3d print some covers for the unused keys, just to keep it clean.

Wanted a small unibody for my laptop bag, and I think this will do nicely!

Background keeb is one of my personally designed and handwired boards...my daily driver at home.

Hey there, we are a team of 2 engineers, still studying at university and we wanted to create a product with which you can finally remove your cable to make your workspace even more clean.

Anyways it would help us a lot if you're interested to fill out the interest check.

Shipment is planned this year in Q3-Q4

Interest Check

Hey, I feel like this is only the beginning. Split ergo was just the first step down the rabbit hole - now I'm eyeing curved boards and I don't think my wallet is ready for what's coming.

Has anyone made the jump from a flat split to something like a Dactyl?
Was it worth it, or is flat split the sweet spot?

Hello all :)

I finally created a reddit account to share my obsessions with other people. Here you can see my first dive into the world of ortholinear keyboards: YMDK ID75.

I wanted to learn a different layout a few months ago but just dry practicing at home felt too slow. So I commited to it by also wanting to use this layout at work. Problem is that I can't easily install layouts there apart from the ones that Windows provides. That's why I bought a programmable keyboard to basically hard-code the layout into it. So far it has worked great and on my best days I reach ~70wpm (most of the time more like though 55 lol).

Since the bare ID75 looks a little bit too minimalistic for my taste, I modeled a sci-fi inspired case and 3D-printed it. Now it looks way cooler :D
Feel free to ask any questions!

Switches: Durock Ice King Tactile T1 68g
Keycaps: Skyline R2 Low Profile PBT from Womier Keyboards; there are also some printed keycaps in the bottom row.
Layout: Neo2 Noted

It’s my first day posting here, so I’m a little excited and nervous haha.

About a year ago, I felt that my office desk setup was kind of boring, so I thought it would be fun to make a small keyboard with some built-in games that I could play during breaks from work. That idea led me to start designing the PCB (using an ESP32-S3), working on the structure, testing prototypes, and assembling everything. Now it’s fully playable.

At this point, it can not only control my computer through either Bluetooth or USB wired connection, but it can also switch into a MIDI pad mode. To be honest, these days I mostly use it to map keys for vibe coding, like Up, Down, Enter, and other shortcuts.

To get a higher refresh rate, I designed my own graphics library instead of using LVGL. And to make it easier to build small games, I also implemented a simple physics engine myself. Because of that, I made a Dino-like game for it, where pressing any key makes the character jump. I also made a Flappy Bird-like game, where pressing any key keeps you flying. I’m still adding more features.

Next, I’m planning to improve the web-based configurator and launch it on Kickstarter.

I’d really love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or feedback on a project like this. Feel free to ask any questions!

I wanted to write a post about my journey with a split ortholinear keyboard, which has become an indispensable tool for my work.

I also tried a Corne keyboard in the past, but I went back to the ortholinear layout.

In the post, I also explain how I configured the layout and accents for typing in Italian, English and French.

And other details that I won’t spoil for you!

This is my first post in this subreddit; I hope I’m not OT.

Hi, here's my new open source 61 key unibody board Krteq, successor to Krtkus. Designed to be easy to assemble and maintainable.

• Raspberry Pi Pico
• Hotswap Gateron KS-33B (GLP 3.0) switches
• Keychron / TAI Hao keycaps
• QMK/VIA
• White backlight (only breathing effect)

The most interesting thing about this board is, I think, the Gateron LP 3.0 switches, which means the PCB could be used with regular profile switches too.

It also has scroll lock LED, which I use as an indicator for my custom accent input mode via an AHK script.

Hope someone finds it interesting. 👌 I'd love to make a full RGB version, the white backlight is more limiting than I expected. But otherwise this is my favorite daily driver now.
