Quantity:
OSAv2: - MOQ: 35
-
MAX: Limiting the quantity to what I can handle. Not a set
number but if orders pile in too quickly I may close
orders in order to prevent me from being overloaded.
OSAv2 numpads: - MOQ: 8
-
MAX: Limiting the quantity to what I can handle like the
main board. If too many numpads get ordered I may close
numpad orders before the main buy separately.
There is not a hard limit per person, but please do not do “mini GB” size orders. (aka don’t proxy for a region without my prior approval)
Shipping:
Shipping will be calculated at checkout. For international orders shipping at checkout might say USPS but shipping will actually be via UPS or DHL depending.

Album
Here is a quick sound test:
https://voca.ro/1hWK35sC96w0
R2 RGB build lubed with 204g0, using Des /#3
rings and Des V1 blue domes. PBT keycaps.
MX OSAv2 Layouts:
More
The MX OSAv2 PCB supports all layouts shown
above.
The mirrored left spacebar layouts (with the 2U
or 2.25U on the right with the 1U or 1.25U on the inside
instead) requires a separate plate from the non-mirrored
spacebar layout and will be available as an option. This is
nicknamed the vMatt as a friend commissioned pcbs made with
those mirrored and others liked the idea so it continues to
be offered.
PCB also supports Alps in said layouts, no
plate made available.
MX OSAv2 Numpad Layouts:
More
The MX numpad PCB supports all layouts shown
above.
The plate can be flipped to change which side
the 2U switches are on so only a single plate is needed for
either numpad layout. (obviously excluding the ability to do
all 2U options shown at the same time).
PCB also
supports Alps in said layouts, no plate made available.
Topre OSAv2 Layouts:
More
The topre OSAv2 PCB supports all layouts shown
above.
Each plate is fixed layout due to mounting and
making sure the housings stay in the right locations.
Support for “normal” topre housings from R1/R2 boards,
as well as R2 RGB housings will be available as plate
options. Buyer must decide which and make sure to buy the
corresponding plate.
All plates only support split
right shift, the 2.75U shift is PCB only as it would require
at minimum 4 more plates to be added and therefore costs
would increase for everything.
Topre OSAv2 Numpad Layouts:
More
The topre numpad PCB supports all layouts shown
above, but is subject to change depending on how feasible
the layout options are and interest levels.
Multiple
plate options will be available for housing support as
mentioned prior (“normal” and R2 RGB). Currently RGB is
limited to all 1U as the stabilizers aren’t supported with
the wire inboard due to the housing design and an outboard
wire would interfere with the case.
PCB Support:
PCBs will be QMK/VIA/VIAL compatible.
All alice PCBs with topside USB Type-C that use the
“standard” alice pcb outline for fitment.
As well the
MX PCBs available in this buy will work with cases that also
support the above.
Topre PCBs may not work in all
cases as the PCB/plate/switch assemblies are
0.95mm taller and therefore move the PCB and USB down said
amount. This requires the case to have the room designed
into it for said difference. I can’t confirm support outside
the OSA (v1 or v2) cases as I don’t have a collection of
every alice to test with.
Topre Support:
The PCB is designed to work with both R1/R2
“normal” topre housings/sliders (the typical black
housings with topre mount sliders) and novatouch (given they
use the same plate cutouts as R1/R2), as well as R2 RGB
topre housings/sliders with their own plate.
“Normal” and RGB require separate plates for compatibility
but function identically, it just opens up the option for
what the buyer decides they would rather use for a donor and
what parts.
For donor boards, only a single TKL is
needed to support both the OSA and numpad depending on the
layout (limited by 2U/stabs). So you can get away with
a single donor board or deskeys
housings/sliders/springs if those are available at
the time of building (2u housings not out and springs not
available from them yet, but niz does sell theirs on
taobao)
NiZ housings/sliders will not be
supported by the included plates for multiple reasons. The
main reason is I have had their 2019 sliders crack ePBT caps
stems and would rather not advocate for their parts in case
that issue is still present and I don’t want customers to be
mad because I made it an option. So you are going to have to
make your own plates for this if you desire NiZ at your own
risk/discretion. Another reason is they require yet
another plate cutout that is unique from “normal” and RGB
and instead of offering everything and increasing costs I am
also hesitant. The last reason is their 2021 revision
product page still uses everything from the 2019 product
page without a single revision so that makes me warry that
they actually changed anything instead of just updating the
year to make it seem updated/new.

feedback, and inspiration along the way. As well as helping
fund the original round of prototypes.
Matt for the massive amount of help with
the PCBs and firmware, without you this literally wouldn’t
be possible.
jrfhoutx for your help
with prototypes and the MX/Alps numpad PCB as well.
keebnewb for helping with firmware guidance
and quick turnaround on test firmware modifications.
Olivia/OJ for the renders with amazing
turnaround time.
FAQ:
How does the plate support R1 and R2 housings? Aren’t
they different?
R1 and R2 “normal” topre housings are the same, confirmed
with measurements in hand.
Can you release the files so I can 3D print it?
No.
Will there be an aluminum version? At the
moment there isn’t plans for it as the original OSA was
aluminum and I wanted to do PC for v2 for a few years
now.
Can I get a dyed PC case? The
buy is limited to the options mentioned here, no others will
be available.
Are deskeys housings supported? Yes, they
use the same plate cutout as R1/R2 “normal” topre so
therefore are supported.
Why didn’t you make it use a daughterboard?
Because the point was to allow support for other
PCBs/plates in my case as well as support for my parts
in other cases as much as possible.
Can you do an aluminum weight to save money?
That won’t help things as much as you expect them to,
aluminum weights don’t shave much cost.
Can you add ISO support? The alice stagger
makes it impossible to do it in ISO, the enter doesn’t sit
right and therefore would leave massive gaps and be missing
a switch entirely. This is why there is no ISO alice
board.
Why does the topre numpad not support 2U zero?
Due to limitations with mounting, sizing, and routing needed
for the PCB to function properly, there is no possible way
for me to include this as an option unfortunately.
Could you make the numpad use a different angle?
As it is meant to be a companion to the main board, I would
prefer it be kept looking identical to the main board rather
than making it an entirely different product.
RGB? MX has RGB, Topre will not.
Can you make it hotswap? No. Making a
hotswap PCB isn’t just throwing a socket on the PCB and
calling it a day. Hotswap requires a fresh restart for
almost the entirety of the routing and therefore is a
massive time commitment. Plus not everything needs to be
hotswap, please stop asking everyone on every board without
thinking about what you are actually asking the designer(s)
to do.
Will there be other topre plate options like
POM/PC?
As mentioned above, Plates need to have threads tapped and
therefore metal will be the only option. I am limiting to a
single material for now to make logistics easier given how
many plate options there needs to be already. Yes it is
possible to do an entirely different setup using very small
standoffs so no threads have to be tapped but that would
over complicate an already complicated GB due to options.
You can explore other materials on your own.
