Seen anything cool as of 2024?

Iāve been keeping an eye out for cool new keyboards lately. Recently, a friend introduced me to a mechanical keyboardl, and I have to say, I was impressed. The build quality and typing feel were top-notch, which got me thinking about upgrading my setup. It reminded me of when I first got into mechanical keyboardsāsuch a game-changer compared to my old membrane one. Have you come across any other interesting keyboards recently?

This could be interesting?
A new Apple patent filed this week has revealed the company is studying a new MacBook keyboard that could provide adjustable feedback to users, letting them vary the tactile force and the audible feedback of each key depending on how hard you press it, customization, and other factors.
Well, itās 2025 now. Been lurking for a while but foxtrottwist got me interested in dactyl manuforms and I finally got one of these and itās been super solid.

Nice one @dara, welcome to devtalk 
How are you finding it? Do you need a wrist rest with it? It seems a little high but that could just be the photo - do you have any photos of it next to a standard key or mouse perhaps?

How can you use that keyboard without labels in them?

People do this on purpose - as it forces you to remember where the keys are
I donāt use a wrist rest. It looks high but when I use them I tilt my wrist. If you look at the edges itās not particularly high, itās about 1.5cm above the table or so.

Ah yep itās what @AstonJ says, I just memorize it and itās part of learning touch typing.

Very nice, how long you been going with it? I have been pretty tempted by one of the Cyboard Imprints for a while, not pulled the trigger on one yet though.

Get one Toby and let us know what you think of it!

I nearly did but I for now I ended up going off the deep end and decided to try Svalboard, so currently trying to learn that thing. Still lusting after the Imprint all the same but I still have some issues using a Glove80 most of the time and thought perhaps a more radical change was necessary. There are only so many insanely expensive keyboards I can really buy at a time.

That actually looks pretty neatā¦ but how much!? 
Youāll have to start posting reviews of them Toby! Iām curious how they all compare.
A post was split to a new topic: Keyboard Review: UHK60V2 vs Defy vs Voyager vs Glove80 vs Svalboard
Cool!
I will still love to use my HHKB keyboard though.

Against the moonlander specifically, there is the whole split and columnar factors which takes some adjusting but can help find a comfortable posture and lessen finger contortions. The thumb keys are not the best on it but most of these kinds of things give a at least a few usable thumb keys that are good for helping remove the load on the pinkies. Then there is the whole firmware thing which can get you (among other things):
Reconfigure every key to anything
Layers (hold/tap/one shot switch the key layout to a entirely different one for example one with arrow keys on the home row like VIM)
Different settings for tap/hold/double tap (for example set C to cmd/ctrl+c when double tapped, or use Home Row Mods to long hold your home row keys for shift,ctrl, alt etc)
Whatever macros you want wherever you want them, usually with a huge amount of options
Caps word (caps lock that runs until a space and toggles itself off)
Auto shift (long hold for shifted version of key)
Mouse emulation (have a layer with mouse control keys, cursor movement is janky but scroll and fwd/back buttons are great)
Combos (two or more keys pressed together output a key, key with modifications, run macro, switch layer or whatever)
There is probably other stuff Iām forgetting but in general there is a lot of handy stuff that mean you donāt have to move your whole hand away from its main typing position to do common things and you can reduce the annoyance of awkward key combos.
You can play around with the configuration stuff without a keyboard to get an idea of the options and some of the things other people do Oryx | zsa.io

Ooh yeah, that Bear 65% looks awesome! Love the layout and the vibe with those GMK Dotsāsuper clean. Iāve been eyeing the Keychron Q1 HE lately, but now youāve got me second-guessing.

It does look pretty nice, there are a few Alice layout boards which are pretty similar. Keychron Q10 is pretty close, it isnāt the exact same but you get most of the bang for many fewer bucks.
