Ostrich Ostrich – a diodeless monoblock keyboard with splayed pinky columns by keyboarddweebs .
KBD.news Published January 6, 2023
Alex Miller shared his new 34-key unibody split: the Ostrich .
This looks like a mash-up of his two previous projects: the monoblock Crowboard and the split Budgy – both sporting Pi Picos. The Ostrich is like a reunited Budgy but with some pinky splay.
My latest creation. I call it the Ostrich. Single board, diodeless, 34 key keyboard with splayed pinky columns. Inspired by Reviung's canted MCU. The project is also open source – keyboarddweebs .
