The keyboard encompasses a trackpoint and touchbar, and might be prolonged with modules by way of magnetic connectors.\n<\/p>\n[The TP78] was designed as an fanatic keyboard to satisfy 4 basic wants: trackpoint, portability, wi-fi, customizable shortcut keys \u2013 ChnMasterOG.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nBy the way in which, that is already the third model of the sequence: the TP78v1 was pushed by a CH582M controller unit, the TP78v2 makes use of Hi2821 because the MCU, and V3 sports activities a BS21E chip \u2013 supporting 8K polling charge wired.\n<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\nTP78 V2<\/p>\n\nThe trackpoint’s placement has been up to date too: V1 used an IBM-style pointing stick positioned between the G\/H\/B keycaps, mixed with low-pro switches for the mouse keys.\n<\/p>\nThen sooner or later, I caught myself staring on the spacebar: I by no means really press the center half, do I? So I wrote a script to trace thumb positions whereas typing. Certain sufficient, the center part was nearly by no means touched. What if\u2026 I break up the spacebar and put the TrackPoint proper within the center? \u2013 ChnMasterOG.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nSo V2 moved the trackpoint in between the break up house keys, aided by a contact delicate strip. Lastly, with the newest model (V3), the writer has ditched 3D printing and opted for a CNC machined aluminum case.\n<\/p>\n<\/span>Options<\/span><\/h2>\n\n75% structure, 78 keys\n\t<\/li>\nMX switches<\/a>, hotswap\n\t<\/li>\nHi2821 MCU\n\t<\/li>\nYDX-C09 trackpoint\n\t<\/li>\nOLED\n\t<\/li>\nUSB hub\n\t<\/li>\nper-key RGB\n\t<\/li>\nmagnetic connectors for extension\n\t<\/li>\nVIA\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>Assets<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\nRevealed on Solar twenty first Sep 2025.
