Rocky Elbert - A Budget, Through-Hole 45% Keyboard
Hi Geekhack members! I'm Rocky. I'm starting a new store called Rocky Keebs. The first product that'll be sold on the site is going to be the Rocky Elbert, which is named after Mount Elbert in the Rockies. It’s an affordable 45% keyboard that I think will make transitioning to smaller keyboards easier for many people. You can join the Rocky Keebs Discord server for more convenient updates.

Sub 60pct is less active it seems, but I'm in the market for a 40pct, or perhaps 50pct board, then stumbled on this.

Haha yeah, the Reddit post has been getting a lot more attention than this one. I guess most people on Geekhack aren't as interested in smaller boards.
