ATLAS progress, AsicResistor adding trackpoints. Still WIP, but there's a repo with the PCB already.

The retro-looking Epomaker RT82 with a bold display aka "TV" positioning. :D And it's detachable. I mean, keyboards don't need displays, but if you want one, this is the way to go. Probably.

offsetkey 70% (GB) at PandaKB. A classically staggered split with various extension modules. Reminds me of the UHK. (Not much, but the KBDNEWS coupon is worth $2 off.)

Go60 by moergo. Not really an alternative to the Glove80 but a completely different concept for travel: flat and with touchpad. On Kickstarter. This is a very short 7-day Kickstarter campaign. "We have blasted through nz$200k and the nice people at Kickstarter gave us the "project we love" batch" – Stephen.

The Minimi40 (GB) is a lidded, bento-themed keyboard by CannonKeys – designed to be just as portable as a lunch box. Lid to be secured to the board with a strap in standard bento fashion.

Lego-compatible case for the Silakka 54 (thingiverse) by nolexyn/Flat-Razzmatazz.
