Hello!So I wanted to create a FRL, WKL, TKL keyboard so I created the Pengu68. Named after your favorite clumsy clay penguin that goes "noot noot", the Pengu68 is kind of everything I want, but can't currently get.
Heres a list of features:
- Tenkeyless (TKL) without an F-row
- Winkeyless (may have a version for a window key not sure yet)
- Gasket-mounted using the typical gasket strips
- Rotary Encoder
- 7 degree typing angle
- 7u spacebar
- Material will most likely be Aluminum with no plans for Brass weight option (more details below)

Planned Materials:
I'm deciding to go with only aluminum as many manufacturers are charging more for polycarbonate. I'm also avoiding a brass weight option as I don't want to add extra cost to the board. My current target price is between $200-$250 (will change as time progresses).
Currently working on:
- PCB (both Hotswap and Solder)
- Prototypes (3d printed first then to the factories)
- VIA support
- Pengu detailing and engraving
Future:
- Sorting out price and talking to vendors
- Finalizing Board Design and PCB
- Getting final renders for the board
- LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE
