I'd been thinking it would be nice to have a decent fidget, and I found this little mechanical keyboard strip that should be very nice.
It came with Kailh Arctic Fox clicky switches (which I wanted to try), but I'm also giving it a go with U4Ts — it's easy to switch them out.
The keycaps are also extras from the set I'm using for my main keyboard, which had pink/green options for ESC and a few others.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-14-26
I did not have much time to engage in my daily "feed reading" this morning. But I will not let that stop me from publishing my daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Justice Department Files Case to Revoke U.S. Citizenship of Mastermind Behind Multimillion-Dollar Tax Fraud Scheme (USCIS. April 13, 2026.) The marriage fraud allegations are a nice addition.

[Show] We hated split keyboard cable clutter, so we CNC-machined our own 420g truly wireless board (ZMK)
Hey Fediverse, Our team wanted to share a hardware project we’ve been pouring our hearts into. We love the ergonomics of split keyboards, but we were always frustrated by the messy TRRS bridge cables and the bulky plastic/3D-printed cases that usually come with wireless builds. So, we spent the last few months developing our own solution: Elytra. The Specs & Philosophy: 100% Truly Wireless: Powered by ZMK. No wires to the PC, and absolutely zero cables between the halves. Just a perfectly clean desk. Ultralight CNC Aluminum: We applied a biomimetic cutout design on the underside. It gives you the premium feel of a full-metal custom board, but the entire chassis weighs only 420g. Designed for Longevity: We know this community values hardware that lasts. The design is modular and repair-friendly, making it easy to open up, maintain, or tweak over time. We just opened our site for early pre-orders. Since the Fediverse has some of the most knowledgeable hardware geeks around, we’d love to get your raw feedback on the layout, the industrial design, or any ZMK configuration tips!

I like keycaps. I also believe (still do, but way more cynical about it) in the 90s/00s ideals of the Internet.
Remember the Mac "hello"? There's a keycap for it. #MechanicalKeyboards

Got a chance to play with the @system76 new Launch Heavy Keyboard. It's good stuff. More details here:

I recently picked up the new Launch Heavy keyboard from System76, opting for the brown switches, and after some time to put it through its paces am happy to report back. Most importantly, the key travel feels great. There’s a satisfying depth here that makes long typing sessions feel deliberate without being fatiguing. If you’re […]
