This Redox keyboard is my first keyboard build and my first split keyboard. The housings are 3d printed but I’m looking to get something a little more robust eventually. I’m running lubed Akko Jelly Black Switches which are dangerously satisfying.

Thanks for posting a pic of your keyboard. I too am looking into split keyboards at the moment.

Is this a wireless keyboard? Also, what keycaps are these?

BTW, I love that the wrist rests are congruent to the keyboard. :-)

Yup, this is a wireless keyboard that connects with a dongle. There are two wireless versions of this keyboard, one that connects with a usb dongle (the one in the picture) and one that connects via bluetooth. I opted for the dongle version because of the claim of better battery life.

The key caps are Ergodox keycaps from AliExpress. Unfortunately because of this keyboard’s keycap layout not all of the keycaps from that set would fit so some of the keycaps, specifically the white ones are from an old blank keyboard.
