KBD.newsPublished May 30, 2021
Features: ortholinear, steel plate, handwired, duplex matrix, wooden case, and an intimidating large amount of hot glue.
As far as I understand, this gigantic ortho project started when the author realized there is no vertical navigation cluster on the market.
Also, it seems this week is about duplex matrices.
