Projects

The MSOS

Huskeyboards' very first project, the Multi-Switch Opener/Lubing Station (HSOS) is exactly what the name implies—it is a lubing station with an integrated switch opener! Made with 3 pieces of 6061 Aluminum, it is extremely durable. With an MOQ of 200 units, the estimated price is $50. The first of its kind, this tool is sure to help any enthusiast lubricate their switches. Manufacturing will begin after the group buy is closed. The group buy will be unlimited.

IKIDS: Intuitive Korean Input Device for Seniors

Our second project is the IKIDS: Intuitive Korean Input Device for Seniors. Most keyboards in existence are not so intuitive when it comes to why the characters are where they are. This makes them harder to learn to type on. We aim to combat this problem by creating an input device that allows the user to "draw" the character on the 3x3 square and press enter to send the input. We aim to keep the price as low as possible through Elite-C and Pro Micro compatibility. The 3x3 square will have per-key LEDs, allowing the user to see what squares are activated. Powered by QMK, you will even be able to use this as a macropad. The project is available on GitHub.

Galjook60: A good split keyboard

The Galjook60 is a split 60% keyboard with an extra column on either side for people to be able to adapt to split keyboards more easily. Users will be able to program the board with QMK. VIA support is not currently planned, but if there is a big enough demand, we will port the board to VIA. The project files will be released to the public after the initial group buy; anyone who missed the group buy can have the Galjook60 made using those files. We plan to offer the standard aluminum and 3d printed versions of the case, as well as an experimental Titanium version, albeit at an added cost. The Keyboard is planned to be top mount. This project is available on GitHub.

An evaluation of keyboard response times and their significance

For many years, gaming gear companies have used fast response times as a selling point in their keyboards. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which those claims are true, to evaluate whether response times significantly impact the user's gameplay, and to discover what factors affect the response times of the keyboard.
