Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.
I can't repeat this often enough: offering a pre-built keyboard AND also sharing the design files is my favorite distribution model. This is the best way to inject a GB/preorder into kbd.news. Just saying. 😉
The Mün 2 by RGBKB is the successor to the original Mün kit, a split ortholinear keyboard. The PCB has hotswap MX sockets with RGB backlight, 2x RP2040 microcontrollers, all-USB-C and ESD protection.
An internal cable is provided to connect the PCBs together for certain 60% cases.
Kits are available (preorder) at RGBKB.net.
Specs
- 70 keys (7x5 halves)
- ortholinear
- MX, hotswap
- RP2040 MCU
- up to 3 rotary encoders per half
- RGB backlight
- optional all-metal case + wooden wrist rest
