Edinburgh41

Dear Community,

this is the interest check channel for the Edinburgh41, a 40% mechanical keyboard I designed in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have named the keyboard after this city in honour of the wonderful people who have directly and indirectly supported me on this journey. Please take a look at the “credits” section for details.
First things first, check out the pronunciation of this beautiful city:
