Keebin’ with Kristina: the One with All the Green Keyboards
1 min read
Summary
A new keyboard has been created that is styled to look like a cedar tree, even down to the wood effect keyboard base and detailing on the side panels.
The keyboard runs on an RP2040 and has 50 hand-wired Cherry Brown switches, alongside PlayStation buttons and Nintendo Switch joysticks for extra controls.
Distraction-free writing terminals have turned to ePaper screens and this version of the device uses an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, with a pair of knobs for navigating and typing.
Another writing tool is the Ford typewriter from 1895, which, despite its aesthetically pleasing design, was not easy to use with its pressure-needed space bar and wobbly keys.
This week’s odd keyboard is the Dry Studio Petbrick 65, which is a serious mechanical keyboard with a fluffy frame, soon to be accompanied by changeable fluffy bezels that attach with magnets.
