Has anyone thought about making a more portable version of the Model 01? I’d like to be able to take my keyboard with me when I travel, but the size of the Model 01 makes that somewhat difficult. Would it be possible to take the guts of a normal Model 01 and put it in a custom case that might be som…

Shoot me mail at jesse@keyboard.io with the things you’d like to get your hands on first and I’ll try to get it onto my task list. No rush at all. It’s going to be weeks or months before I even have a chance to look at them anyway. Thank you for the offer, though! Right now, I’m on an Ergodox. I…

I brought this up weeks ago, as soon as I moved space and backspace to the palm keys and discovered OneShot. I never want to chord again on any keyboard. I NEED to figure out how to get my laptop keyboard to have OneShot modifiers. I’ve had the guts of mine out, measured, traced the outlines, and w…

I was thinking an acrylic base (probably laser cut) for durability and because I live where it’s perpetually damp, and making the top out of fabric covered foam cut to form around the buttons- sort of built in wrist rests.

Interesting on plywood vs acrylic! Plywood would be MUCH easier to work with, too. Speak to me of foam. Fabric is my bailiwick. At a guess, I would probably use a sturdy two way stretch lycra, similar to bathing suits and yoga pants, because it would conform to the shape without wrinkles that woul…
