I know there is the Ultimate Gadget Laboratories (ultimate hacker keyboard) but I’m looking fore something more Cornish. And I want premium grade stuff that has a CE stamp. I.e. no low quality 3D-print plastics that will give me a rash or maybe cancer in a couple of years. Something like ZSA or Kinesis.

So, is there any?

    3d print plastic is mostly the same stuff as any other plastic with the same name. Any additives to make it print better are probably also found in your other gadgets or clothes and even food. If you don’t already have as much microplastic in your blood as the rest of us, then I want to live in your town.

    Now fiber infused filaments absolutely do leave shit embedded in your skin and dog only knows if you can ever shed it.

    Anyway, I don’t know anyone that is actually selling, but one of my friends modified some 3d print models of a dactyl variant to be machined out of a block of aluminum and its really damned nice. Premium but still diy…

      Yeah, I don’t really know anything about plastics and I don’t want to know. Just as I don’t want to know anything about flame retardants and lead escaping from cheap ebay electronics. That’s why a I want a fat and expensive CE stamp. TCO would be great as well.

        That’s almost correct. They have the Halcyon Kyria coming later this year, which will be preassembled.

        Apart from that, I doubt any split KB is going to warrant getting CE certified, as far as I know that’s quite an elaborate and costly procedure.

    EU-based

    but I’m looking fore something more Cornish

    I’m assuming that this isn’t “Cornish” as in “based in Cornwall in the southern UK”, but some other use of the term.
