James Gzowski (aka Flexyjerkov) shared his Fragaria-27 a few months ago, but the first build photos have been emerging only recently. This open-source 27-key ortho macropad features hot-swap sockets and per-key LEDs, which can be controlled via VIA. The PCB was designed around a specific form factor:

It’s shaped to match the dimensions of an iPhone 13/14 Pro Max, with the USB port positioned in the same place. This allows the PCB to be housed in a mobile phone case – James.
