A keyboard built from the ground up to my personal preferences, using switches and keycaps from 1980s Apple keyboards. Very much a work in progress.

Some design guidelines:

• Must be fun to make
• Alps switches are nice
• AEK-era Apple keycaps are nice
• Stabilizers are the devil
• The width of standard ANSI shift keys is ridiculous
• The width of a standard spacebar is ridiculous
• Actually, no key really deserves to be wider than 2u
• The thumb is underused for modifier keys
• The left-leaning stagger for the left hand on standard keyboards seems a bit silly

More to come.
