Svalboard is a modern customizable keyboard in the tradition of the Datahand.

Discovered it yesterday in another thread.

This video looks amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aLmO97Y2Is

I had a look at the long-term review thread but couldn’t find any comment for this one, so maybe this thread will be more successful?

    Remapping my brain<->fingers for multi key presses was crazy for me at the start on thumb clusters. Cannot imagine on this

    $750 - $1,000 for the prebuilt? $400 for the DIY option?

    I know mechs are known for being expensive, but yikes. This looks cool and it seems like a novel idea, but it’s hard to rationalize that purchase when there’s Kenesis or Moonlanders selling at ~$400.

      It’s a very niche type of product.

      800€ for 10 years is 80€ a year. Can make sense depends how much time you spend using it.
