I'm a sucker for clicky switches. I try any new clicky that is released and every time I get burned, sorely. Building clicky switches is a lost art that gives very little gratification, as in: not many like them…
About a year ago InputClub/Alpaca announced the WhiteFox Eclipse that is their take on the original WhiteFox that I designed 10 years ago now. As I anticipated back then I was not involved in the project but they asked…
I'm not a huge fan of making keyboard reviews but when a company named DrunkDeer contacted me with a "new" hall effect switch I had to know more about it. I warned them that my reviews are brutal and they agreed on…
A few weeks ago it came to my attention a new project by Kono involving the Whitefox. I need to put the record straight here once and for all: I am NOT involved in any way with the new Whitefox Eclipse. I wasn't part of…
It has been a pretty hectic year and as always I've dip my toe in way too many waters. I don't blame you if you lost count, I did too, so as a sort of note-to-self let's review past, current and future projects with…
Few years ago we run the wonderful SA Retro keycap set, it was quite a small group buy but a few vintage computing addicts were able to grab what it is now a very unique and rare set. I used the keycaps on a 60%…
I like compact keyboards layouts but I need my arrow cluster, that's why I never adventured in sub 65%... until now. I tried to find a PCB that supported all the features that I wanted but couldn't find one, so had to…
It’s finally time to get our hands dirty. For the sake of this tutorial I designed and 3D printed a small case that will serve as the base structure for my handwired keyboard. It doesn’t matter what case you use anyway,…
Massdrop is a great platform with a huge user base but of course you have to compromise when dealing with big companies. BUT. The WhiteFox is our baby, Input Club and I felt that we couldn't keep compromising and we…
How much does a custom keyboard cost? That is one of the most common questions I'm asked. There's definitely a lot of interest around DIY keyboards and the main concerns are: 1) the technical/practical aspects, 2) costs.
You never know when a WhiteFox is going to strike! Stealthy and deadly she comes unexpected and hits with no mercy. Honestly I myself wasn't expecting her for another couple of months, but --you know-- you can't really…
I just got a final sample of the WhiteFox and it's simply fantastic. The barebone kits will start shipping in a few days and I'm so excited to get your feedback. I hope you'll like it as much as I do, it has been a long…
The WhiteFox is the first A-grade mechanical keyboard I designed to be commercially available to the public. In the last few years I worked on many iterations of the same compact layout and the WhiteFox is the result of…
