Just wanted to share a render for a keyboard I’m making. It’s coming end of this year. I didn’t show it in the pictures, but it would have legends on the keycaps. I’ve used dactyls and dactyl-likes before and I’ve always wanted one that feels solid with high quality injection molded cases instead of the 3D printed ones.

Materials: Injection molded ASA plastic.
Target price: ~$350.
Wired/Wireless: The product would come wired. Wireless module to come afterwards.

Thank you! Good point about the countdown. It’s more of a target for pre-orders to start at that time, and not when the product is going to ship. I’ll update it so the message is clearer.
Yeah wireless will come afterwards since it’ll likely need FCC certification, which can a bit of time.
Fully understandable :D
To be honest for me the only reason to not go wired anymore is the firmware… I spent waaaay to much time figuring out the quirks of zmk and don’t want to repeat the same with qmk :D
Yeah I totally get where you’re coming from. Haven’t released this yet but we made a web app that flashes firmware onto a microcontroller with WebUSB. It lets you just customize the keymap on the web app and then click the reset button on the keyboard then it does everything automatically. I’ll post a picture when I have time.
Oh then there’s a high chance they im not the actual target group. I’ve a multi layer and combo config with a bit of custom C code.
But it sounds like you’re actually feeding a niche in the market that is underdeveloped overall, wishing you the best of luck!
