[IC] Biscotti - The Split Space MX HHKB Keyboard
N0GLUT0N:
Biscotti
(The Split Space MX HHKB Keyboard)
I have always kinda been a perfectionist, so when I joined this hobby I wanted the best of the best of the best.* I went from keyboards and layouts trying to find what works the best for me. The HHKB is known as one of the best keyboards that you can buy from the store (non-kustom). As much as I love the HHKB, there are some things that I think are missing. I have been thinking to myself and discussing with a few people on making a better HHKB and thus born the Biscotti.

It's definitely interesting, but I might also suggest support for a staggered split space layout, similar to the Banana Split. Do you have any idea on what pricing would be?

I'll keep that in mind, I like the spaces being the same size but it doesn't hurt to add it.
Not sure on prices atm, I have a manufacturer but I want to get a case and pcb design done before I start talking numbers.

I actually a split spacebar fans.
But I don't think that double 3.5u spacebar make sense.
Where would you get a 3.5u keycap?
