Faraday60

The Faraday60 is a new keyboard project developed by Gondolindrim, a Brazilian engineer known for his work on open-source keyboard PCBs. This keyboard aims to address the challenges associated with Topre switches, which are renowned for their unique capacitive activation and pleasant typing experience but are difficult to integrate into modern firmware like QMK. The project tackles the complexities of the circuitry required for Topre switches, which can be noisy and challenging to implement effectively. Additionally, the Faraday60 seeks to provide a more accessible alternative to existing keyboards that use Topre switches, which typically come with high price tags of around $250. The Faraday60 promises to deliver the distinctive tactile feel of Topre switches while overcoming the limitations that have kept them from being widely adopted in the keyboard community.
