Post by: tbe on Sun, 21 May 2023, 04:34:46

Any suggestions for a keyboard or kit with physical layout similar to this?

Not sure if a keyboard exist with this layout but, the layout looks so awful to be honest. going this small and staggered i don't see the benefits and the reason for it to exist then because it can.

I went with this layout and never looked back it is super comfortable and feels way more natural.

What keyboards have that exact physical layout, and which one are you on @Sup?

You would probably be looking at a hhkb 40%, something like this - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92259.0 (do not know if this specific project is any good, just showed a board with a similar layout)

You could DIY and make keyboard with the same layout and handwiring and like a 3d printed case and stuff like that, if you want that specific layout I guess.

They call it a Corne keyboard. Its a opensource keyboard so you can get all the parts yourself or a kit and build one yourself. I think Boardsource offers the most premium kits.
