A 75%-ish keyboard with a slider!
The website is in active development please forgive
incompleteness and bugs.
The Gist
FjordBoard is a top-mounted 75% keyboard that removed the
PrtSc, Pause, Ins, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys. In the place of
the Ins-PgDn keys are replaced with a slider that has
knob-like functionality without the overused knob. In my
opinion, knobs are cool but are being overused so instead of
just removing these keys because I don’t like them I added a
slider. Full Vial, VIA, and QMK functionality/support.
A CNCed aluminum case (6063) anodized in Pantone 533 C blue
(see at the bottom of page) The weight will be brass and
should weigh just under half a kilo. As for the plate, It
will ship with an FR4 plate but I am going to provide plate
files so that you can get plates cut yourself in whatever
material you want. A 5° typing angle and hot-swap PCB that
supports ANSI and ISO.

What is a Fjord?
What is a
Fjord? A Fjord is a long thin stretch of water going inland
with steep cliffs or mountains right to either side. Fjords
are most famously found in Norway but also appear in New
Zealand and Iceland.
Conservation of Fjords
While this project will likely not make that much I
want to donate some of what I do make to nature
conservation. Fjords are a very limited resource and if we
dont properly protect the habitat then Future generations
won’t be able to experience one of the greatest natural
beauties.
Who should I donate to?
You might think
this is simple and there is just a Norway fjord conservancy.
But it turns out there really isnt a fjord or even
Norway-specific nature conservancy. So I turned to one of
the other places where fjords exist, New Zealand. New
Zealand has almost many nature conservancies to choose from.
Both my dad and I love kākāpōs which just happen to live in
Fiordland (spelled slightly differently but means the same
thing). The kākāpō is a critically endangered flightless
parrot that currently lives on an island in Fiordland, one
of three islands they currently inhabit. So as of now, I
plan to donate to Kākāpō Recovery A NZ government program to
save the Kākāpō.

It’s time for the final IC update before we move to a GB
page!
There is very little to tell here because things
like the date and price are going to be part of the GB page
but I can say that Hex Keyboards is officially the vendor
for the rest of Asia! You can visit them here at
https://hexkeyboards.com/
Stay tuned for the GB page coming within the next few
days!
