Froggr Froggr is the next board in weteor 's Orthocade family: a 12u ortholinear keyboard with 48 keys and offset bottom row.
KBD.news Published February 4, 2023
Another model published as part of weteor 's Orthocade family : the Froggr is an ortholinear keyboard with 43-48 keys and an offset bottom row.
Froggr, which extends to 12u to have room for standard modifiers. Build this for my wife, because she wanted to learn touch typing and I think 12u is a lot easier to get into than 10u – weteor.
