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.
