KBD.news Published December 2, 2025
Shared by Mae Pugin aka mournepousse/harrael , the KaSe is an open-source angled unibody keyboard inspired by the Atreus62.
I’ve been slowly hacking on a custom keyboard project and I finally feel it’s in a state where I can share it and get feedback. It’s called KaSe, and it’s built around an ESP32-S3 with both USB HID and Bluetooth HID, plus a small OLED display and multi-layer keymaps – harrael.

64 keys
MX switches , hotswap
