My shiny new Keyboard.IO Model 00 keyboards

[jesse]

The Model 00 is very similar to the Mark 13 I mentioned over at http://blog.fsck.com/2013/12/better-and ... oards.html, though it (finally) uses a PCB I designed and had Seeed Studio make me 10 copies of (for $200, including FedEx Next Day shipping from China!) and has a wood shell, rather than an acrylic shell. It's pretty close to a "final" layout for the keyboard I'm hoping to Kickstarter.

So far, we've built out four of our 10 PCBs. Two of them are for us. The other two are being sent to unsuspecting beta testers tomorrow.

Really nice,Why Esc and Meta on bottom,more comfortable?
jesse,what you still uses blue shift? unfortunately only not split ,it seems that final design

[jesse]

Yes, more comfortable. Yes, the current layout is a variant of the blue shift layout. And yeah, as I've said before, the 1.0 keyboard will almost certainly be a single unit. There's just too much design risk in a split design for my first physical product.

I didn't drop it entirely, just cut it down to a a few degrees. The full tk1 splay is just too wide to be comfortable.
