This gotta be of some interest for some people here:
I admit that I was interested in it to begin with, but as I am a UHK, Planck, and Moonlander user there is literally zero about this board that is of any interest. It almost seems like a hipster move by System76.
Still I’m not trying to knock them too much, just not very interested in this.
I can’t function without a numpad.
Maybe I’m just cheap, but I don’t see how the price of this keyboard is justifiable. It uses switches from a Cherry knockoff brand, has no tenkeys, uses keycaps with dye-sub legends instead of double shot, and uses already-existing firmware.
If I had to guess, I’d say using the XDA profile for the keycaps instead of something more common, using a custom PCB, and using a milled chassis inflated the price, but even with those accounted for, this is absurdly expensive.
It doesn’t fully meet my requirements, too but it’s cool to see a more open development and customizable layouts.
I think I’ll never find a keyboard that will meet all of my requirements.
