We've been attentively listening to all the feedback from everyone.
We have two new options for the physical setup of your Pointing Stick (Trackpoint) which eliminate the need to cut any key caps.
First, wolfwood, who you may recognize as an active member of the ergo keyboard community, has designed a beautiful 3D printable version of Pseudoku's well-known Chicago Steno keycaps. What's special about wolfwood's design is that it has built-in cutouts for the Pointing Stick's nub. You can use both FDM and Resin for printing, and I’ve heard that SLA is also a viable option.

Secondly, we are excited to introduce a new stalk design, which we’ve named the "Beanstalk". This design doesn't have the traditional rubber nub. Instead, it has a cross pattern that elegantly rises and just slightly emerges between the keycaps. It's specifically tailored for the Santoku's key switch offsets, making keycap cutting unnecessary. While the Beanstalk looks tiny, it's surprisingly comfortable.
Please note, the Beanstalk is optimized for keycaps that adhere to the MBK size standard; larger keycaps may not be compatible.
The Beanstalk is still in the beta phase, but we’re including one with every order to gather your feedback. If you find that you prefer the traditional rubber nub, don’t worry, switching is simple.
As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
