Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

This is a solution for flexible and reliable tenting of keyboards with very low cost. […] A DIYer who has access to 3D-printing can easily build it and customize it – macroxue.

Github repo and video demonstration: https://github.com/macroxue/keyboard-tenting

The structure is basically a steel plate on a ball joint. This makes it a universal platform since any keyboard with magnets at the back can attach to the steel plate.

The ball joint allows the plate to rotate continuously in a certain range so – according to the author – "it's easy to tent and tilt the keyboard to one's liking".
