James Crosswell released his Paw, a 34-key wireless split keyboard with modular display and trackpad.
Essentially just another 34 key wireless split keyboard. However, at the top of the keyboard […] you can see a small plastic stopper, which is covering a 5 pin magnetic pogo connector – James.
The plastic cover hides a magnetic pogo connector with 5 pins, the last four of which should theoretically welcome any I2C device, with an OLED being the most obvious contender, but there's also a trackpad module.
Features
- 34 keys (5x3+2)
