This cute little monoblock split by weteor, the Tipper-TF, sports a uniquely positioned e-ink display.
(The design is not new but was brought to my attention only recently, by @daraku__neko's tweet.)
Specs
- 34 keys
- low profile
- Choc v1 with choc spacing
- angled hands
- splayed columns
- variable height on outer column: can be adjusted by a combination of pinheaders (1.27mm pitch, 1mm or 1.5mm height) + (at the moment) spacer PCBs.
- 1.54'' epaper display by GoodDisplay (EPD - GDEW0154M09)
- Bluetooth and USB connection
- case files are supplied (STL, as well as FreeCAD files)
- ZMK firmware support
According to weteor, MKB keycaps work great on the Tipper, but he prefers Pseudoku's Chicago Steno caps – shown in the photo above.
