PRICE
I want to go ahead and list the price
right now because I know that many people will stop reading
after the price is shown. THIS BOARD IS $550
This is an
expensive board. I know. I am not happy that I am having to
charge that much for this board. Why is it so expensive?
Aluminium prices are through the roof. Most raw materials
are through the roof. MCU Shortages for the PCB have caused
PCBs to be way more expensive than they usually are. This
board is also a very thick and hefty keyboard that requires
a lot of metal. To be able to afford extras so that I can
ensure that everyone in the GB gets an A-Stock board, I have
to charge $550.
The board can be purchased in either
Anodized Black or E-White

PCB
So with this layout I
had to have a proprietary PCB made to fit the case and
layout. I highly recommend buying a second pcb. I dont know
when the next time I will run this board again and have no
plans to keep the pcb in stock after the group buy.
The
PCB was designed by BlindAssassin with a left mounted USB
Type-C Port.
I am in the process of getting the PCB
ported into QMK and VIA with the help of Keebnewb. It has
not been 100% ported yet for mass use but I do not want to
ship the PCBs or orders out without the PCB fully
functioning.
The Design
I am sticking with the
familiar design language as the Bacca60 with the unique side
profile and focus on the plate having minimal layout options
for maximum stiffness in the plate. The mounting style is
sandwich mount.
This design is a continuation of the
Bacca60. I bought a TX60 many years back and loved that
board so much but thought there were a few things about it,
especially the plate, that could be improved and I asked
BlindAssassin to help me design the Bacca60.
The
Layout
The Bacca70 layout was something I thought about a
few years back. I really love how keycap sets look with the
F-Row. My favorite layout (until getting this prototype) has
been 60% for its symmetry but I always hated not being able
to use the F-Row caps to round out the design of keysets.
Having an F-Row has its benefits of adding more keys to
layer one without adding any horizontal space to the board.
I am not the first person to design a board in this layout
but there are very few boards that have this layout and no
public group buy that I can think of that did this
layout.
Issues with my past boards and how they have
been addressed.
WKL spacing on the original run of the
Bacca60 has been fixed since the Squid60.
The plate had
a small amount of rattle around the WKL blockers. This issue
persisted with the Squid60. I have built the prototype
Bacca70 and I can hear no rattle or ping from this area as
we have taken steps to prevent this from happening again.
DEBACCABEAN
After a long courtship by Dededecline and JnlyBean, I
have decided to release an ortholinear version of this board
called the Debaccabean layout. This is a 79 or 81 keys
ortholinear layout with the option for split 3u spacebars or
a 7u spacebar on the bottom row. This version will cost $10
more than the group buy totaling $560 due to the extra
machining on the plate. You also have the option to add a
plate/pcb to the standard Bacca70 board with the plate and
PCB costing $50 each.
Please indicate if you are
interested in this layout in the google form at the bottom
of the post.
Fulfillment and Quality of A-Stock
3Dkeebs
will be selling and shipping the boards but I will be going
to the warehouse to personally QC all of the boards. A-Stock
boards are boards that have no blemishes or scratches when
the board is completely built. There are also no blemishes
or deep scratches on the inside of the board but I will not
consider light machining marks on the inside of the board
B-Stock. I also do not consider hook marks that are on the
inside of the side of the case a B-Stock. These are things
that once the board is built will not be seen or have any
effect on the boards look and function.
Expected shipping date Q2 2022
