Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.
Published last month, the Snowflake is a 13-key macropad designed by @takashicompany. (I mentioned this project last week without being aware that it has a GitHub repo. Thanks for the heads up!)
Features
- 13 keys
- MX, soldered
- XIAO RP2040 controller
- KMK
Maybe it's just me, but the Snowflake reminds me of projects like Jerre's Christmas ball ornament or Hideki's Christmas ornament.
