So for me, a #Python developer (with quite a bit of #MicroPython experience), this made the whole keeb firmware hacking an order of magnitude more accessible. You know, for really customizing stuff, not just editing a DeviceTree file and then wait for GitHub to build my firmware because local development is discouraged (looking at you, ZMK) …
GMK Earth Tones #keycap set with Hootie #artisan cap. I find this colorway really aesthetically pleasant and might have been convinced to get in on the groupbuy if it wasn’t GMK.
The Work Louder Nomad #keyboard looks niiiiiiiice. Has a digital info screen with #pomodoro timer, system stats, even a fun little tamagotchi-style companion. Low profile keycaps and "Atomic #Gateron" switches. Hotswappable. Knobs reminiscent of TeenageEngineering equipment. Pricey but god how meesa want it. Preorder status right now.
