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 :)
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I've literally dreamt of a similar kb design. How much did all this cost?
At the current stage maybe around 400$ if you make a bunch of them at once
That'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?
Well right, you can spend 400$ on a keeb without a single display and no custom software. As mentioned, I plan for a kit ( https://www.crowdsupply.com/polykybd/polykybd ), as I don't want to assemble all the boards and it will be the fun parts for those who buy one.
I missed that link thanks! I signed up to be notified when it opens. You're absolutely right. It would be fun. Super nice design!
