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.
13ReplyHow much does a display cost? Reminds me of that keyboard that never materialised line 20 years ago by ArtLebedev.
11ReplyAround 2$ if you buy in big quantities
6ReplyI think that did materialize, but was rather underwhelming?
2ReplyApparently 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?
6ReplyAt the current stage maybe around 400$ if you make a bunch of them at once
5ReplyThat'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?

neat, where'd the displays come from?
6ReplyCustomized in China
0ReplyThat doesn't answer the question. Where did you buy them?

So cool!
4ReplyThis is amazing. Displaying hotkeys would be so efficient. Love the idea of the keyboard as an output device!
3ReplyThis looks incredible! Maybe I'll finally stop forgetting my own custom layouts with this.
3Reply@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
2ReplyI heard that before. For sure, it's on the list of the next layouts to consider!
