sean<p>New keyboard day! This is Keyboard.io's version of OLKB's Preonic that was launched as a Kickstarter a while back, with a few adjustments and refinements. Most notably there's bluetooth support! <a href="https://skj.social/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>keyboard</span></a> <a href="https://skj.social/tags/preonic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>preonic</span></a></p>
Cliff<p>This is the first of four new review items that just arrived. Plus I still have one other keyboard that arrived a few days ago.

Pete Johanson<p>Travel cover for my Zaphod ECBrox <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>keyboard</span></a> came in, printed by a fellow keeb friend.

KDE<p>KDE devs have been quietly working on Plasma Keyboard, a new on-screen keyboard for desktop and mobile part of the “We Care About Your Input” KDE Goals initiative.

Janeishly<p>Just realised that my phone keyboard (Swiftkey) now has Copilot built in, and is also probably stealing everything I type.

Lukáš Kotek<p>I bought mechanical <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>keyboard</span></a> (87% size) by customklavesnice.cz (at least the base kit is made by Skyloong). It was fun to pick own switches, and specify colors for all the keys, not mentioning the final assembly 😉<br>The most important: it is really comfortable for writing👌Surprisingly silent (meaning: no clicking sounds). Just backlight (and its multiple blinking/waiving schemes) is ridiculous, but it can be turned off 😅</p>
