Bahrnob 65: Gasket Mount 65%

February 7, 2021

For those who have not yet understood the name of the keyboard, the "bahr" stands for the pen rail on top and the "knob" is for the rotary encoder, thus you get bahrnob! All jokes aside, this is our first project and we wanted to create something that our team would personally love to use and decided to share it with the community. While the project has taken some time, we were busy laying the ground work for future projects to be more efficient. We again would like to thank everyone that has been following our journey!
