I call this one Daisy ;) This set went to a user in Alabama. Units also shipped to Poland and Eureka CA. So hype for more feedback from early users! Current build queue is a couple weeks long, feel free to jump in if you want one!
Svalboard is my Datahand style small-volume production keyboard – I build every one by hand here in Pacifica, CA.

You guys really hate traditional typing methods, eh?
When traditional methods literally cripple you… yeah. This isn’t a hobby thing, it’s more like a survival tool/prosthesis – RSI is way more prevalent than a lot of folks realize, and for people who make a living typing, it’s worth a lot of adaptation. I wish nobody needed my weird keyboards, but damn there are a lot of us RSI cripples out here! The weird-keeb enthusiasts are just a niche submarket in that context. :)
This looks like it’s great for a disabled person: you can do the entire keyboard without moving anything other than your fingers, while your hand rests on a nice platform built to support it without fatigue. If it’s something you need, it looks really nice!
Yep.
