We’ll allow it. It’s too beautiful to be a one-and-done.

Here’s what I’m using as my daily drivers over the last couple weeks. UT47 from a group buy on Keyhive. They are really likeable boards, with a delightfully intelligent layout. The white one makes a racket because Kailh Box Clickies, but the blue one makes a smug thock (because it has no right to sound this nice when it only cost ~$25). “Click” and “Clack”, you might say.

I really like this board. It's just too bad that 40% is a bit too limiting for me. It's not even that the number row is gone that is the problem, its that the [];'./ keys are gone. It just throws it off too much for me when trying to touch type.

It's a case I designed myself to look like the original brick sized gameboy, It's a 3d printed plastic case with a lasercut acrylic bottom for LED underglow.

Not mine, but just finished a build for one of the Smallfry 40% orders:







(Powdercoated titanium plates, sorbothane spacer gasket, Cherry MX Greens, green LEDs, JD40 II PCB.  Very heavy for a tiny keyboard).

Wanted to experiment with a 0.5u staggered keyboard so handwired a quick and dirty prototype with Gat Browns. Suprisingly nice to type on but the stagger of the wasd keys makes it near impossible to game on.

There's quite a few, actually.  Just depends on if you're willing to build it yourself.

Corner blockers are a nice aesthetic touch, but they limit the space in an already constrained keyboard layout. Nonsense.

Seems to be a sandwich construction. Would you offer HHKB-style top piece if that's the case? Not that it would be practical but it definitely looks cute.

I'm still adjusting and trying things with 40% keyboards, but I think this is getting close to my own endgame. Like before, this has face plates that you can swap out for new looks at a cheaper price than a new set of keycaps. It's also my first PCB design that has backlighting! It was a little tricky to do, since I'm still very much a beginner, but I'm super proud that I accomplished it as well. This is is going to have a pretty short life on my desktop however, since it's being shipped to a friend of mine as a present for them.
