Velvet keyboard
The Velvet by u/atlantesque is a compact 38-key minimalist variation of Dactyl Manuform.
Published December 15, 2022
Ergohaven's Evgeny announced their split and scooped Velvet, this small Dactyl-variant with only 38 keys.
Introducing our long-awaited minimalist keyboard Velvet. Only 38 keys, very small and compact, but still curved enough for comfortable work wherever you are! – atlantesque.
- It's intended to be used with RPi Pico, but other controllers should work too.
- The case is made with screw holes to attach the ergohaven.xyz single key PCB – a fork of the SU120 by e3w2q.
Resources
