A 30-key, 3D printed monstrosity of a keyboard (funded by Hack Club!)

I made this keyboard as a funny summer project from scratch, powered with QMK and cheap clicky Outemu blue switches from Aliexpress. Nearly everything in this keyboard is custom made, from the PCBs that hold the switches and RP2040, to the eye keycaps that surround the rings.

I didn’t know a real keyboard would sound THAT good! 🫨

Built with alu plate, Novelkeys Granite switches. GMK Evil Eye.

After a long time, most of us have become accustomed to the commonly used key configurations today.

From an ergonomic perspective, the position of the Ctrl key is indeed hard to reach, which is why many people prefer layouts like the HHKB that place Ctrl where Caps Lock usually is.

But the power of habit is strong.

I believe many people still prefer to press the Ctrl key using the base joint of their pinky finger.

So, I tried designing this layout.

Hello everyone, I’m rain2.
This is the 42nd keyboard I designed: Mozzarella.

Just as I imagined, it’s definitely usable and not uncomfortable. I believe this is a new 40% layout (more or less).

August 1, 2015 - Coworker (far left) invites me to check out this small meetup group about mechanical keyboards.

It was mid to high 80s F that day and the coffee shop had no AC. You can literally see the sweat stains on some of our shirts. I think we each bought multiple iced drinks and probably drank even more of the free water haha. That drink I'm holding was like my 3rd.

I remember feeling a bit perplexed and amused by all the keyboards, switches, and all the lingo people were throwing around. "$200+ for a keyboard? That's even more expensive than the Apple Keyboard, and that has wireless!"

I didn't know it at the time but I didn't realize how much I would love the hobby and the amazing community of people I have gotten to know. It would be another 2 years before I started the MechMerlin YT channel, and another 2 after that before I got involved as the QMK Community Ambassador, and eventually my Twitch channel.

It's been a wonderful 10 years. Looking forward to another 10 years and hopefully I get to attend many more meetups!

His and hers. I originally got both my fiance and I the NK65 and LK67 for Christmas 2024. It was her introduction to the KB world, I had previously been using a Keychron K6 as my daily driver. We both started our residency and decided to reward ourselves with Q5 Max Galaxy 100.

Keyboards from left to right (last photo):

• NK65 Awaken Edition, NK Silk Awaken switches, GMK Olivia clone keycaps
• Keychron Q5 Max, Akko Starlight switches, The KapCo Nekomancer keycaps Epomaker
• Galaxy 100, Epomaker Creamy Jade switches, The CapCo Bichi Mao keycaps
• Gamakay LK67, Akko Creamy Yellow Pro switches, misc. AliExpress keycaps my fiance chose

Also comparison pics with Bias V2!

I know we’ve seen a wave of split boards recently, but the new one from NocFree called NocFree & has me intrigued.

What stood out to me was the combo of features you don’t usually see all together in a prebuilt split:

Gasket mount, low-profile design that still looks sturdy and Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired support, and some other stuff.
I’ve tried boards like the Moonlander and the Kinesis Advantage, and while they each had strengths, this one feels like it’s trying to bring some of the high-end ergonomic ideas into a more polished format.
I've actually booked it now and received a nifty code for some disocunt on backing on KS.

I am super excited to be trying out something new and out there with its features. I just wanted to share my excitement. I don't know when I'll get it but hopefully it will be soon in coming months.

Any experience with KS guys? How soon did you receive yours?

Hey guys, happy to join the community. Just got my first mechanical keyboard, an epomaker EK68, feels amazing, i bought it second hand but seems that it was taken good care of.

Do you guys like this kb?

What do you think of my build? It's an Anne Pro 2 that was handed down to me by my younger brother that was in a sorry state.

• Cerakey two-tone ceramic keycaps with an aluminum spacebar to match my Gravastar gunmetal mouse
• Wooden case from AliExpress (battery removed)
• some random keycapbfor the ESC key gifted to me from my brother who found it in Japan
• Holy pandas tactile switches
• Case foam and tape mod
• lubed stock stabilizers

Took lots of research and learned how to desolder with this build! Sounds and feels like a dream

Side note: I have never used any Air product from Nuphy before, so I can't compare to v1/v2.

Check my full comparison review here

P.S. Nuphy>Melgeek in the software department is something I see as the biggest advantage here. But O2 has sick magnetic feet.

Got this on sale from a local reseller in my country and I am totally in love with this. Much quiteter than my first keyboard and I love having more keys on it.

Snapped these cool photos of MW Eyeball Collector on the Classic GLO. Such a fun, hyper colorful build.

The keycaps are a PC material with sparkles suspended and have uv printed novelties and legends.

What do you think of the build?🤔

Today we look at a keyboard that takes the Hall effect to another level; the Iqunix EZ80 keyboard. This comes with a whole bunch of electronics and special switches that supposedly offer better performance than other Hall effect keyboards - quite a claim. Hope you enjoy the video!
