¶ Alpha 28
Alpha 28 is a legendary keyboard and layout designed and championed by PyroL. His legacy is immense and powerful.
Alpha 28 distils everything that is good about a keyboard into the essential 28 keys. It inspired a plethora of designers and spawned many creative spinoffs and case ideas. Early cases by softsama and dinguxmcgee were prolific and iconic, such as the cases mimicing famous apple keyboards, designed by soft, and drop in cases with built in wrist rests or snack trays, by dingus.
