Introduction
Menhir is a Premium 40% Keyboard sporting a modified HHKB layout and a flexible, leafspring mounting style. I was inspired by the aesthetics of the Titan65 and KBD661, and by the unexpected heft of the Neuron. Menhir weighs in at just over 2kg (4.5lbs) thanks to a 5mm brass weight, and rocks a natural, 6-degree typing angle. -
Design and Specifications
- Design -
Inspired by the Monoliths and large stone formations of Prehistoric Europe, Menhir is designed to pay homage to their unwavering persistence. The angled exterior provides seamless integration with your desk while the curved bezels are pleasing to see and feel. The exterior and weight is intentional in an effort to make this a pain to move and pick up. The plate is designed to provide an enjoyable typing experience focused on flexibility.

Credits
First, a HUGE thank you to BlindAssassin111 -
with his design knowledge and expertise, this board would
still be pencil on paper.
Also, much thanks to
TheBlackHammer for the awesome renders, to Taylor for his
help prototyping plates and finding manufactures, to OCM, to
the 40s fam, and to the degens - this project would not be
possible without all the help and support.
Thank you
all so much <3
