Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 150K readers.

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.
