My goal is to have these in customers hands in Q3
2021, but subject to change.
Where to buy:
The GB will go live on
www.Viktus.Design
at the above time, you can click the banner or navigate to
the live gb page from the menu.
I am accepting US and
international orders and all will ship from me here in
Texas.
Note: International orders
might have issues with shipping calculations so there is a
chance I will have to close international orders if there is
a major issue. Being my first GB via my website there will
be some growing pains in this area.
Layout Support:
ISO enter and left shift are supported on the PCB
but not the included plate, I will make the plate files
available later on after the buy to allow you to get custom
ones made. Sorry for the inconvenience but ISO + ANSI
cutouts are a no go.
As well plate and case foam files
will be available on my github on the day the GB launches if
you would like to get some cut.
Who is Viktus Design?
As you can tell from my username I am
BlindAssassin111 and Viktus Design from here on out is the
name I will be using for sales. After a few years working on
personal projects without a brand and making keyboards and
keysets with TheKey.Company I have decided to go on my own
to pursue my own vision for my boards.
If you aren’t
familiar with my work offhand, I have worked on quite a few
things including Nexus Alps Sliders, TKC M0llY, TKC
CandyBar, TKC1800, OSA, Crown, SP-111, GodSpeed75,
Bacca60/Squid60, TKC Switch Opener, GMK Night Runner,
GMK Nightshade, GMK Skyline, and more.
Viktus Design is
inspired by Scandinavian automakers and the desire to create
functional art. All of the board names are in Swedish and
are chosen from quality traits, Styrka meaning strength. All
boards are named with a leading Viktus as a call back to the
name, and automakers as I mentioned, so the official name
for this board is Viktus Styrka, but can be shortened to
Styrka.
The board designs are not simple, as I didn’t
confine myself to features that were the easiest and
cheapest to make. At the same time they aren’t too busy and
I hope that a lot of you will enjoy the designs to come.

Note: The prototypes were of an
older version of the case and therefore assembled slightly
different from the production version. This change will not
affect aesthetics or sound in a noticeable way.
Build:
If you would like to watch a stream of one being
built go to the following video uploaded by Mechs On Deck

Special Thanks:
OneCreativeMind for coming up with the beautiful design
initially and being there along the way to help make this
come to reality. Without him this venture wouldn’t be
possible, so if you see him around please remember to thank
him for being an awesome person and friend.
jrfhoutx
for the pain in the ass firmware work that is ARM in QMK
along with feedback.
MetallicCharles for early renders
and support with the board for this whole time.
HamKenobi for the amazing pictures of the prototypes that
grace this post.

He put a picture of his cat in the board pictures by
accident and it is too cute to not share so enjoy.
FAQ:
Are you going to make it hotswap? No.
Can I buy a version without left macros to make it
cheaper?
No.
Can you remove the penrail? No.
Can you add knob support? No.
Can you add a top left badge blocker?
No.
Can you release the files so I can 3D print it?
No.
Can you make the text on the mods blue?
Uhh…I think you have the wrong form.
Why is it so expensive? The design of the
board requires fairly thick stock to machine with and
unfortunately material pricing and shipping have skyrocketed
due to covid therefore causing every step to be more than
initially anticipated. I wish I wasn’t forced to sell at the
above pricing but I have no choice without scrapping the
project entirely (further explained down below but material
pricing and shipping costs aren’t projected to drop back to
pre-covid until late 2021 at the earliest).
Below is a
cross section view to explain just how thick everything is,
the top piece alone is taller, wider and almost as deep as a
jane sized TKL in full, to put this image into perspective.
The rear accent might look thin in this but it actually has
features that stick out into the top case to the mating face
between the bottom and top.
