Latest Build: 10910

Continuing my adventure by going less keys each builds, this is the latest addition to my builds, a 29 keys unibody keyboard.
Been using it for a month and happy with the result.
Super compact, still maintaining the same layer (minimum adaptation, except for the space key position).
Keycaps: blank MOA jellies
Switch: Outemu Lime v3 - silent light tactile
Handwired QMK

Got my mechanical keyboard

I got this Korean traditional patterned keyboard, and I am so happy with it. It looks so sick. Keyboard is ABKO ACH105.

Ignore the fact that I am using it on top of suitcase lol.

I made a free & open source keyboard stand

I made this keyboard holder, it's very strong, it can be 3D printed without supports on most printers and it's entirely free!!

I found an Atari 1040ST but don’t know anything about it

Can anyone help me figure out if this keyboard would work with my Windows PC?

I have the original Atari computer it came with (it’s from 1986!), but I don’t know if it works. I’m still going through the boxes and figuring out what I have and don’t have.

transtion ramune

I cut out the bottom of my Transition Lite,

printed a photo of a Ramune bottle that I took myself,

and used a piece of a plastic binder cover as an acrylic panel on top. :)
