Osprette V3 The Osprette V3 is the third revision of Sam Mohr 's 34-key unibody keyboard.
KBD.news Published June 23, 2023
Here is the Osprette V3 by Sam Mohr aka S'mores/smores56 . The third revision of the Osprette is a 34-key unibody keyboard that runs on any Pro Micro compatible daughterboard. It comes with bluetooth support by way of battery terminals and a power switch.
Originally based on Brow 's Balbuzard, Sam found that adding some extra space between the halves, rearranging the thumb cluster, ditching some keys, increasing the pinky stagger, and adding a power switch for bluetooth may result in a better design for himself.
I am a big fan of the Balbuzard, especially the secret choc version that Brow sent to me. However, there were some things I wanted to change – S'mores.
Features
The V3 is an amalgam of the author's favorite bits from other boards:
Splay and stagger from the Clog V2 .
50 degree inner angle from the Balbuzard
Wide primary thumb keys like Le Chiffre
New outline contrasting splayed keys with octagonal angles, inspired by Geist 's TOTEM
Asymmetric controller placement from the Reviung series
Solder-only (no hotswap sockets) and no mounting holes from iamnotyourbroom 's KISS philosophy
