OGR2 by AKB

The second round of OGR Groupbuy has started! Open now until Aug 25.

From the designer

"It's an old story now. The OGR was originally designed as an entry for the OG Summer competition on r/customkeyboards in 2019. When it won the top spot my chosen prize was a fully-funded prototype,and Simon's wallet has quietly resented me ever since.

During the obsessive research phase before landing on the final layout and design I grew a real attachment to keyboard/computer design of the 80s and early 90s. I cherry-picked some features from my favourite boards as inspiration (G80-0832, G81-3077 & G80-0530), and combined them in a way that eventually become the OGR. I self-ran the group buy in 2022, for better or worse, and I'm grateful that the feedback from people who use them regularly since they shipped in 2023 has been wholly positive, so I've planned to run this again for quite some time.

I'm terrible at leaving things as they are, and it wouldn't feel right to just milk one design until it's dry, so I've made some minor adjustments this time round."
