Thank you! I’ll take a look at Keebtalk!
Depending on where you live, you might run into my friend taking these photos in the woods.
Haha, it was a joke that got out of hand and people were into it!
The current PCB doesn’t have ISO support, but you’re not the first person who has asked and I do like ISO… I might need to make one in the future.
I designed it in Fusion, 3d printed several prototypes, and then had a manufacturer CNC these out of aluminum. It was a huge learning experience.
I’m a little biased since I designed this keyboard, but the main layout was inspired by the Vault 35 HHKB which has been my favorite layout for quite a while!
Haha totally understand!
It’s not for everyone but you do get used to it surprisingly fast.
I first got into 40s because I wanted more free desk space and then I moved to a 35%. My friend always said my 35 didn’t have enough keys so I designed this layout as a joke but enough people liked it that I decided to actually make it.
In my default layout, QAZ are mapped to Esc, Tab, Shift and I use the keys on the right for macros.
Does this mean you won’t be joining the GB?
Thank you!
It’s my daily driver. I was using the original prototype up until this one was delivered. Same layout, just a slightly different case design.
Haha you are correct, I have used it with QAZ on the right side.
My friend always says my Vault 35 doesn’t have enough keys so I made this layout on Keyboard Layout Editor as a joke and then he said I should make it a real keyboard and then I posted it on the 40s discord and they said I should make it a real keyboard and next thing I knew I was making 3d printed prototypes and shopping for manufacturers.
It’s very ergonomic, I swear.
This is a really good read, thanks for sharing it! I’m currently in the process of deciding how to move forward with the sale of the keyboard I designed so this is all really relevant information for me.
Here it is! (Sorry I’m guessing imgur wasn’t really what you had in mind when you said not a centralized platform)
Honestly it was a joke that got out of hand
Oh yeah I can upload it to imgur or something
haha thank you!
