Keebin’ with Kristina: the One with the Grasshopper Typewriter
1 min read
Summary
BranchNo2939 has made a mechanical glass keyboard, using a glass substrate, with the copper circuitry applied using physical vapour deposition (PVD) technology and the bonding of copper on to glass panels.
Erikpeyronson/erkbd is a wide, open-source split keyboard design, similar to the Corne and the Void Ergo S, with a 44-key, hand-wired design using a pair of Waveshare RP2040 Zeros programmed with QMK.
This week’s historical keyboard is the Williams typewriter, which saw the platen situated in the centre, between two sets of type bars that struck from the front and rear, kicking like grasshopper legs, making it a “stunning piece of industrial art”.
Finally, [humanplayer2] discovered a new use for melty beads as a possible switch plate material.
