Designer lu (aka stardustArc/fuzzytomatohead) shared her first keyboard project: the classy Lemonshark – a wireless split keyboard with per-key RGB and nice!view displays.
I made this board for fun and because I hated my 100% membrane. This isn't just my first split, this is my first mechanical board at all. […] I've been dailying it for about 3 months now, and it's incredibly nice to use, especially now that I've switched to a modified version of Colemak-DH – lu.
According to the author, the extra large batteries support the LEDs for about 10 hours at 15% brightness (which is plenty bright), and multiple months when off.
