Keybytes, an open source hardware project, lets builders assemble a fully modular keyboard in which every individual key contains its own RISC-V microcontroller and connects via pogo pins with magnetic attachments. Enthusiasts are comparing the swap-and-reconfigure design to building with Lego bricks, praising it as an unusually ambitious take on custom keyboard hardware.

Why now: The unusual fully modular design, with a microcontroller in each key, is novel enough to circulate widely among keyboard and open hardware communities.
