Just built the Enso-E keyboard from Omnitype and Clever and WOW - this split ergonomic HHKB kit is next level. If you’re into custom keyboards, ergonomic typing, and boutique builds, you NEED to hear about this. First off - the vibes 🧘♂️
This board isn’t just a keyboard, it’s literally inspired by zen minimalism and the ensō circle, blending art with function in every curve and contour. The sculptural design feels calming and refined - perfect for long typing sessions or creative workflows. Key Features That Impressed Me:
• Split ergo HHKB layout - split halves + ergonomic angles feel much more natural than a standard 60% board.
Omnitype®
• Hybrid EC + MX support - install electro-capacitive modules OR your favorite MX switches.
• (Properly Done) Silicone gasket mounting — cushioned typing feel with reduced vibration that’s so satisfying.
• Pogo-pin connection + hybrid hot-swap PCB — clean assembly and flexible build options, whether you’re a no-solder fan or love modding.
• Separated plate islands — mix & match spacebar layouts (3u or 2u+1u options).
Build Notes
This is a keyboard kit — that means switches, keycaps, and stabs aren’t included out of the box. You get to build it exactly how you like it (great for modders), but plan for that in your budget.
Aesthetic & Feel
From the premium polycarbonate top to aluminum/copper accents and customizable weights, this board feels both luxury and purposeful. The angled profile and ergonomic layout make typing feel effortless after you get used to it.
📌 Perfect For:
✔ Keyboard enthusiasts who love ergonomic & split layouts
✔ Builders who want EC or MX switch flexibility
✔ Creators & Programmers who type all day
✔ Anyone who wants a unique, statement keyboard that looks incredible
It’s not cheap -but if you appreciate design-forward boards with premium build quality, the Enso-E deserves serious consideration.

The Neo line is changing the game again with this in stock drop starting at $100 with $30 shipping
It's so easy to build with no screws necessary for assembly and pre- installed magnetic ribbon cables meaning all you need to do is build your PCB and Plate assembly and drop it in.
2 different gasket mounting methods, included stabilizers and cable and a million different options for plates makes it easy to figure out your preference and I'm honestly in love with recommending this board to all my beginner custom friends who want a killer budget option to get started (and maybe ended?) with.
I've built it here with no foam so you can see how it really sounds, but feel free to foam it up to your preference!
Let me know what you think!

The most impressive TKL I have seen in years is in the final days of groupbuy...
The Stratum 80 nails everything it set out to do. If the sharp edges, chunky bezels and understated light bar are your speed, I'd highly recommend picking this one up- it nails the internals in a way I've seen very few keyboards do. The different bricks don't rely just on material durometer but gain their stiffness from the shape as well, making the overall typing experience less mushy, more bouncy.
The magnetic top also makes the top colors easy to switch out and the board so easy to tune. While most other magnet mount boards can feel dead or have issues, they nailed the implementation on this one
With so many excellent tops colors available, I'd even recommend picking up a few spares.
Well done to @artifac_ !!re_email!!_artifact.industries , this is a seriously impressive second board.

This custom Bauer Lite build turned out better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend making use of the custom Bauer Configurator from @omnitype if you are in the market for something a little more personal, without completely breaking the bank. I'm over the moon with mine! (not #spon, just happy :))
This is a clear top, purple alu plate, clear purple bottomed build with the hot pink tacos, topped with PBT Office Beige from @hibi.mx
Deskmat from @cannon.keys

De Stijl meets keyboards in this Mondrian inspired 1800 - but the top is just as good as the bottom here, something rare in pretty keyboards. ( I guess they had to make this one look just as good upside down as it does right side up to stay on theme - IYKYK)
This bad boy also sounds incredible for a board of its size- too bad it has a price point to match.
Wishing I didn't need a more portable board so I could pick up this beaut, and sad to send it along to the next reviewer

I don't think there is anything more exciting than when a client reaches and tells you to just make is sound good- This is the Hippo 80 by @jacky__kbd topped with SA Ramses from @omnitype and built with hand lubed @invokeysco Matcha Reserves- and boy does it sound GOOD! Sound test coming soon! Thank you for your trust <3

Machine Red might be one of the best finishes I've seen on a keyboard yet, and it goes so beautifully with the sides on the Thermal. Salvun and Wilba absolutely cooked with this one (now I need it in HHKB!)

The TMO was the board that made me fall in love with a small form factor, and is the only board in my collection that was so nice, I bought it twice (the V1 and the V2) I truly consider it to be the perfect 45%
So when a client reached out asking me to mill-max and build one with Gateron CMs and PBTFans Modern Desko, who was I to refuse ? ( I was ecstatic)
I notoriously *hate* navy boards, but with how this one turned out, maybe its time I change my tune...

You know that one tool that just works perfectly for a very specific things? Thats the Photon from @cannon.keys - you'd be hard pressed to find a wireless board with better battery life, portability, and price point all wrapped up in a beautiful, officially liscensed, Tamagotchi themed package.
I have hundreds of keyboards, but this is getting use out of all of them for just how useful it is as a travel board - I don't have to worry about scuffs, dings, scrapes, or it weighing me down or dying when i need it most, its just there, and works
and I love @tamagotchi_us

Remember a few posts back when I waxed poetic about how much I love @gok_nz designed boards?
Hopefully seeing the back of the Lily helps you understand a little more why, what a beaut. More please!

The 7v holds a very special place in my heart- my receiving the first prototype to build from @gok_nz (and my build stream of it) helped me believe this was something I could do- and do well.
So imagine my surprise when a client offered to send it in for my first ever front page stream! It felt like such a full circle moment.
Also the board is an absolute banger, mine is never leaving me
Its beautiful from every angle, and holds a beautiful meaning to me. Thank you Chuck for sending this my way ,especially on such short notice, and letting me build it (and thank you Laz for your help as well
This one was built with @keykobo Cinque Terre from @@unikeyboardsofficial and Cherry Stubs from @bowlkeyboards

Just taking another moment to appreciate this incredible Redwood and Maple board from @functional.co , nothing to see here.
