NUE - 60% PCB GASKET MOUNTNue is a 60% keyboard, with gasket mounting tabs on the PCB itself. The goal of this design was to achieve a flexible-yet-firm typing feel with pleasant acoustics.
Development consisted of numerous rounds of prototypes and testing before finally coming to a design that I feel confident can satisfy many typists out there.
