The original Snake, released by 1000eyed about a year ago, is a semi-ortholinear keyboard with LEDs, rotary encoder support, and spacebar options – featuring lighting inspired by the genre-defining classic video game.
Just saw the keyboard made by 1000eyed on our Discord server and thought the layout and integration with the LEDs and name was so cool! The case was not my style though, so I made my own – Technofrikus.
This is my review of the Bancouver40, this cool little pre-built ortho keyboard in a premium CNC aluminum case – designed by Sporewoh and sold by Chosfox.
