Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

Reeve's ʻākohekohe is a 26-key, column-staggered, unibody split keyboard made with ergogen and KiCad. Named after the ʻākohekohe bird, (“AH-kohay-kohay”). Basically a ZilpZalp with thumbs cut off.

I recently released my first board, the ʻākohekohe. I really love the hummingbird keyboards and made my own iteration as a love letter to the Zilpzalp, Grumpy, Fitis and Rufous. It was designed in Ergogen and KiCAD, and I have it fully open-source on GitHub – Reeve.
