      Would totally make sense in a movie since they just hammer random keys and say random things lol

      Absolutely. Now you only need the keycaps to be half transparent and light up individual keys randomly and you’ve got that “visual techno-babble” perfected.

    This looks so inconvenient. Glad you like it, but this is 'awful taste, great execution" for me.

    Wow, when I first opened the image it was squished to 50% width, each key looked like a piano key. That was a real wtf moment.

    Beautiful looking keyboard

    Has a 3d printed feel from the photo. Did you make the whole thing, case, pcb, keycaps?

    Serious question: How do you type on flat profile without having your hands hurt? I could never get use to flat keys and spherical work the best.

      Not OP, but I also use flat keycaps, so I thought I’d chime in. I’m not really sure why your hands would hurt with flat keycaps, but one of the reasons I chose to use flats were to allow for easier chording with Plover.

        Well, I keep my keyboard laid pretty flat and typing on flat keys makes my fingers slip slightly which in turn causes me to hold my hands unnaturally.

      I don’t know how to answer you exactly. My hands don’t hurt. Maybe it’s because of the combo of the ortholinear keyboard and the Dvorak layout causing me to move my fingers minimally.

        That could be it. Also mechanical keys probably play a role. I had a laptop with flat keys and within a week of use I had to start lugging my keyboard around with me.

          Yeah, I had a MacBook once with really flat keys and no travel when you pressed a key. After an hour of using it I felt like I had been typing on concrete.

    Hot swappable? I’m wondering if the sockets are what make the keys sit slightly off square and even, couldn’t be the key caps could it?

    Looks nice! I daily drove something like this for a couple of years, then transitioned to a split ortholinear layout, so a bit different but pretty much the same thing.
