Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

Another minimalist keyboard by Kunsteak: after the Bloq here is his Briq. This time without the extra thumb keys.

This is by far the most comfortable keyboard that I have designed and used! I originally wanted to use this version of the board with Ben Vallacks custom piano layout (with a few extra keys), but decided instead to try and relearn the standard ISRT layout (the only change being the J key) after having seen the gherkin/dilly kb designs and layouts – Kunsteak.

Specifications

  • 5x3 ortholinear layout
  • Choc/MX compatible
  • Hotswap
  • Puck/tenting support
  • Wireless (only!)
  • ZMK firmware

Can be used like a gherkin/dilly… … but split is better ;) – Kunsteak.
