The ever-prolific Alaa Saad Mansour (AlSaMoMo) has released Barghoot. After many minimal split and monoblock keyboards (Wizza, Batreeq, Zazu), his latest creation is a semi-split ortho keyboard with an integrated trackball.

I never owned an ortho board and was recently inspired by Weteor's Kong and Aki27's Court40 – AlSaMoMo.

Features

  • ortholinear layout
  • encoders, display, trackball
  • Per-key RGB
  • Underglow
  • Haptic feedback
  • Can support a second pointing device through FPC and a breakout board.
