Creators! Feel free to
tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.
Let me add here Buran , a rather old project by Evelyn S. aka ScatteredDrifter , on occasion of Protieusz updating the PCB.
I wasn't aware of this project until featuring the Nova but it definitely belongs in kbd.news.
Buran, apparently named after the ill-fated spacecraft and meaning "blizzard" in Russian, is an angled orthogonal semi-split keyboard with support for two encoders.

orthoish unibody split
38-41 keys (3x5+4 per half + optional center keys)
MX, Alps or Choc v1 switches, soldered
