I know designing and building your own keyboard is very rewarding. However, I can't imagine how rewarding seeing your design in a brick-and-mortar shop might be.

I went to see my own keyboard cocot46 in Yusha Kobo – Daihuku.

(EDIT: OK, I got this all wrong. :D Youtube autotranslated captions gave me the impression that Daihuku went to see his own keyboard design. The truth is, the cocot series is the work of @aki27kbd, and the cocot46 was reviewed by Daihuku.)

The cocot46 is a compact, 46-key monoblock split designed by aki27 with column staggered layout, equipped with a mini trackball and rotary encoder.
