It seems Massdrop is replacing the ordinary ErgoDox in their semi-regular drops. The new design has the same physical layout, but hardware is more like their Infinity 60% keyboard. Links:
Features:
- much better connection between halves, no more messing with TRRS cables/connectors or flipping halves for only left-handed use
- support for both MX-compatible and Alps SKCM-compatible switches
- everything but switches comes presoldered
- runs HaaTa's firmware, configuration is done in the KLL or future matt3o's GUI
- a gimmicky LCD
The drop features a choice of Cherry MX, Gateron and Matias switches, and DSA and DCS keycaps for MX-compatible or DSA keycaps for Matias/Alps switches. Price remains essentially the same.
Still no tenting support out of the box, the same layout, no backlighting but an LCD instead. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I'm curious how the new interconnection works. I hope there's a controller in either half.
