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.

Specs

• orthoish unibody split
• 38-41 keys (3x5+4 per half + optional center keys)
• MX, Alps or Choc v1 switches, soldered
• on-board RP2040
• encoders (optional)
• gasket mount cases
