TOMAK (토막) (Tented Split TKL)Group buy launching Saturday 16th SeptemberIC thread:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=120835.0The Tomak is finally here! Since it's running on CannonKeys and we're acting as the lead vendor - I decided to post it here on Geekhack.
Syryan, the designer, is well known in the Korean keyboard community and has worked with Lin and other designers in the past.
We're excited to be working with him on Tomak! More information on his background is in the IC linked above.
Through the IC phase, we heard a lot of chatter about the extra 7YHB keys that are necessary for the board.
Since usability and ergonomics were the first priority of this board, Syryan decided to include these keys on both sides on the board.
The idea is that even if you sometimes use the "wrong" finger for these keys, using Tomak will not be a problem.
We understand that this makes finding keycap compatibility tough - but there are solutions, such as using novelty keys or alpha-colored numpad keys.
In light of this, we are also offering free kits of "7YHB" keys in WS1 color from NicePBT with every purchase of Tomak (on Cannonkeys, while supplies last - though, we think given the price of the board and MOQ, we should have enough for everyone).
