Tumler's REVIUNGDASH47 is a 47-48 key column staggered unibody keyboard inspired by the Reviung41 (and the Ergodash) – hence the name.
Due to size constraints of my 2nd desk, I needed something smaller and opted for a single body. As the Reviung41 keyboards always stood out to me, I decided to go for it. However, with the layout I ended up finding comfortable on the Ergodash, I needed more keys (I also use CAD software at times so I have 1 hand on the mouse, so I wanted to have all the CTRL shortcuts easily accessible – that means having the CTRL key in the corner – tumler.
Specs
Differences compared to the REVIUNG41:
- 6 corner keys added
- Spacebar can be either a single switch or have 2x 1u switches (inspired by the Ergodash which allows choosing the thumb keys)
- The RGB led on the front was rerouted to be first (as the author would rather have one led and don't use the underglow – this allows to not have to solder all the other leds but they can be if needed)
