Creators! Feel free to
tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.
In a reply to my recent poll I was asked to feature layouts on the more classic end of the spectrum more often. Fortunately, bbrafkr took his dynamis to the recent Tokyo meetup , and it seems this 65% keyboard with an integrated trackball has been picked up by the community after the event despite being published months ago.
Specs
65%-ish layout
upgradable from sandwich to gasket mounted case.
integrated 34mm trackball
rich layout options (split backspace, split left and right shift, split space and ISO enter support)
QMK, VIA, remap
