PolyKybd Split 72 - My own split keyboard creation
I created this keyboard with the goal of having a display in each key. It has 72 keys and each key has a 72x40 px OLED display. They keys can change according to language and layout. Also displaying shortcut icons is possible :)
I was about to berate you for trying to claim that you made the PolyKybd, but then I looked at the username.
13 0 ReplyHow much does a display cost? Reminds me of that keyboard that never materialised line 20 years ago by ArtLebedev.
11 0 ReplyAround 2$ if you buy in big quantities
6 0 ReplyI think that did materialize, but was rather underwhelming?
2 0 ReplyApparently it did. I only remember the three button version. Anyways, it was before its time. Now with the custom keyboard craze, it seems to fit perfectly. Then again, if I wait another 2 years, the chinese will provide me the thing for a quarter of the price.

I've literally dreamt of a similar kb design. How much did all this cost?
6 0 ReplyAt the current stage maybe around 400$ if you make a bunch of them at once
5 0 ReplyThat's not great, but that's REALLY not bad! As in, totally reasonable for this board! Are you planning on making a whole bunch and selling them?

So cool!
4 0 ReplyThis is amazing. Displaying hotkeys would be so efficient. Love the idea of the keyboard as an output device!
3 0 ReplyThis looks incredible! Maybe I'll finally stop forgetting my own custom layouts with this.

2 0 Reply@thpoll I think what I would love to see would be this in a Corne layout. One doesn't really need all the keys if you have displays everywhere :D
2 0 ReplyI heard that before. For sure, it's on the list of the next layouts to consider!
