Boston 120%

The Boston is a compact 120% keyboard designed with inspiration from the Driftmechanics Austin. It features a layout that includes 121 keys, with an additional 18 programmable keys, making it slightly narrower than a traditional full-size keyboard. The design includes a full-sized numpad, a traditional navigation block, and support for a rotary encoder above the Esc key. There are two case options available: a 3D printed version with multiple FR4 pieces, and a CNC version. Both versions have been prototyped and are accompanied by open-source files available on GitHub, allowing for DIY assembly. The keyboard supports USB-C connectivity, STM32F072 controller, and is compatible with QMK and Vial firmware. Optional features include single-color LED backlighting and hotswap PCBs. The 3D-printed version has a unique design that showcases artwork of Boston's maze-like street network on the bottom and can be printed using standard hobbyist 3D printers.
