Ergonomic split keyboard in 3 sizes
Improved hotswapping feature so that it's faster. Add ability to swap microcontrollers so users can add wireless 2.4GHz or Bluetooth on their own. Switched to TRRS cords from RJ9 cords. Updated documentation. Switched over to taikohub.com from taikorobotics.com.
Version 4 started shipping Jan 2022. Users found hotswapping previous versions to be time consuming and delicate. The 4th version added a new feature that allows users to hotswap their keyboard quickly and similar to a standard flat keyboard. It still takes 2-3X longer than a standard keyboard, however.

Switching away from Etsy store in favor of own website. Over 20% of the keyboard went to Etsy hidden fees! It's difficult to believe, but it's true.
(5% transaction fee, 5% shipping transaction fee, 3-4.5% payment processing fee, mandatory 12% fee for Etsy's own ad spend)
Version 3 started shipping. The 2nd version was still somewhat prone to break while hotswapping the keyswitches. This version fixed that issue. It now lets users to tilt their keyboard from 0 to 60 degrees.
Modified open sourced design. Shipped 1st version of the keyboard. It was entirely hand soldered and came in 1 size. Opened an Etsy store. Launched website with documentation for how to use the keyboard.
