Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.
Looking up the 30-key split Luna by Mindhatch, mentioned in Apsu's article written for the advent calendar, I found some other designs as well.
The Luna is not a new model. Released in early 2022 along with the Artemis, Minako and La Phantoma – ergo splits with splay and 30-34 keys – it must have flown under my radar since I only learned about it from Apsu (the one in the photo above is her Luna).
