Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

The Flying fox / Pteropus is hulapig's first design, an angled single-piece (non-split) 36-key Miryoku-inspired keyboard with onboard controller and Type-c connector.

I really wanted to try the Miryoku layout, so I designed and build this keyboard and see if it is as efficient as it claims. I also wanted to make an ergonomic layout that fits my hands, so I printed other keyboard layouts, like Crowboard, Iris, Corne, and Kyria, and modified the geometry from there – hulapig.

Specs

  • 36 keys (5x3+3 halves)
  • MX, hotswap
  • on-board STM32F072 microcontroller
