That’s awesome. Made from the same parts and key switches as the keyboard I type on every day!

Since KiCad still does not work with Wayland, I decided to give Horizon EDA a try (https://horizon-eda.org/).
Now, that I shaved a yak by writing a little package for installing Horizon on Gentoo (https://codeberg.org/smeikx/horizon-eda-gentoo), I can first start figuring out how to design circuit boards, and then finally get back to designing my very own keyboard. 😤

Cypher 81 Mechanical Keyboard Review: Comfort and Style
Disclaimer
Epomaker sent me the Cypher 81 mechanical keyboard to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinions. This will be my honest review. Make sure you check out my latest reviews for the Epomaker HE65 or TH85.

Features
The Cypher 81 is a 75% keyboard with a fun purple, blue, and white color scheme, and small TFT screen for live updates and customization. The South-facing RGB backlight is optional, but it provides the keyboard its soft elegant flare. There is also also third-party software for added customization.
This cute form factor keyboard promises as quiet high quality typing experience through its wireless and wired connections. The keyboard supports 2.4Ghz wire connections with the included dongle, and Bluetooth 5.0. Its impressive 4000 mAh battery gives users less wires to juggle while they work or play their games.
Most importantly, the Cypher 81 won’t sacrifice comfort for design. With its ideal and adjustable typing angle as well as the key placement, users can enjoy a mechanical keyboard that looks good, performs well, and won’t cause fatigue.

Review
The Cypeher 81 is one of the most comfortable keyboards I’ve tried. The height, after a few adjustments was perfect. I need special ergonomics for my repetitive stress that never triggered it. The color and design is great. I love the color scheme, and the RGB creates enough flare to make the whole thing pop against any setup. The small monitor is fun, but I never really used it. It’s nice to to have for things like battery power, but not the reason to get this keyboard.
The reason to get this keyboard is for fantastic typing experience. The sound was loud enough to create that melody we all crave without being obnoxious, and it performs well for just about any task. I was able to complete my long hours of work with very little pain, if any, and it was good enough for my casual levels of gaming. If you’re looking for new keyboard with a fun and cute aesthetic, the Cypher 81 is what you’re looking for. It is a well constructed machine with a satisfying sound and solid performance at a great price point.
You can pick up the Cypher 81 for $89.99 on the official Epomaker website, or $99.99 on Amazon using my affiliate link.

Finally wrote a review of my new ergonomic #keyboard, the #dygma raise 2:

Some time ago (2-3 years?) I recall seeing a fairly compact 65% mechanical keyboard on here, with something that looked like a rolling encoder. At the time I just thought it looked pretty, but now that I'm looking into mechanical keyboards again I'd love to take a second look. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
