Use the built-in tablet holder to scare normal people even more.
Lowpoly's last MiniGuru prototype
First conceived in 2008, and many times copied since then, this famous 61-key keyboard with trackpoint was in development again this year.
Wouldn't you like this on your desk?
Matt3o's Bianca
A great example of community effort in design and building a custom keyboard, conceived and driven by matt3o, the Bianca is Teensy-driven and has a stabiliser-free layout and a layered case.
Looking great with matt3o's custom keycaps to match.
Ne0phyte's Tiny Hacking Keyboard
The THKB is a 40% keyboard. After losing earlier designs in a hard disk crash, ne0phyte picked up this great project again. Only amateurs need more than 39 keys.
Making a Happy Hacking Keyboard look huuuge.
Wcass' XTant keyboard
A long-running project, the XTANT is an amazing effort by wcass to bring the IBM PC XT into the 21st century. A new PCB and barrel frame allow for a modern layout.
A working XTant - ultra-fine capacitive buckling springs with a modern layout!
