Pipar & Sool

— pepper and salt

36 keys. Three thumbs each side. A dongle to forget about pairing.

The keyboard that started the archive. A 3×5+3 splayed split with a dedicated dongle for bulletproof wireless, low-profile Kailh Choc switches, and a case shaped to disappear under the wrists. Now in its third revision — quieter components, denser layout, same forgiving geometry.
