Title: [IC] PBS Modern Abacus
Post by: biip on Fri, 02 May 2025, 09:45:20

PBS Modern Abacus

(https://media.biipmk.com/pbs_moab/PBS_Modern-Abacus_Banner.png)

Initially designed for the Link (https://cannonkeys.com/products/link), here is PBS Modern Abacus, aka MoAb.
The name kinda works in 2 ways - it was designed mostly based off of retro calculator vibes, but also has colors reminiscent of the southwest outdoors (like Moab, UT) - so it's really neat!

Kits aren't definitive, so feel free to leave us feedback. We plan to launch the GB on May 16th.

Lovely, quirky set! I miss a 6u spacebar in base though. Some love for true HHKB lovers pls  ^-^

Wouldn't mind the couple of QAZ keys in the 40s kit like MV Classic featured.

Have been really enjoying PBS and really like the colors of this set. Keeping my eyes peeled for this one.

Since PBS is uniform profile, please consider adding four keycaps to all the kits for inexpensive alternative layout support: non-homing F & J + two blank home keys.

Like PBS Goblin Mode's 40s kit:

I wouldn't be opposed to having the few QAZ keys included in the 40s kit, similar to what MV Classic showcased.
