Nice69 v2 - this time with a PCB!
Designed by bishopj7 and Clack-Attack Creative.
Printed wood cases will ship unfinished
Original v2 blog post and IC announcement
Link to Etsy store
I was hoping to post this thread a while back, but
supply line issues and a handful of personal events
interfered with those plans… but I’m back on track at last
after a month and a half of delay.
I originally
designed the Nice69 case earlier this year as a personal
handwired project with 69 keys and a southpaw macro pad.
Since building my own, I have also made the Nice69 available
as a handwired kit on my Etsy store in an attempt to help
make the hobby (and handwiring) more accessible with a
mostly in-stock option - aside from the fact that cases are
print-to-order.
Over the past few months, I have worked
to design a throughole PCB in the CA69, and adjust the
Nice69 case to fit it in to. The Nice69 will still be
compatible and available for a handwired build - but I’m
hoping to increase accessibility even more with the Nice69
v2. When preorders are closed, this kit will be in-stock and
available for purchase when 50% of preorders have been
fulfilled.
This keyboard is driven by the Elite C with
a right-side USB port due to the key layout. Each case will
be printed to order and buyers have the opportunity to
mix/match their own color combination for the top and
bottom cases, as well as the option between a high-profile
top case and a low-profile top case.
Through the course
of the preorder process, I plan to expand my printing farm
with more equipment to better fill orders and finish orders
with better efficiency. We all know the chances taken in the
Group Buy process - and as a thank-you, I plan to offer
founders incentives to the first 20 adopters - these early
adopters for the Nice69 v2 will have the option to be
immortalized on the CA69 PCB with the option to have their
name/username included in the screen printing for the
PCB’s.
