What is Ellipse about?
Having
been in the hobby for a while (since late 2015), Ive seen
plenty of 60% designs, trends and features.
This made
me hesitant to do a standard layout design as I didnt know
what to add to the table without the design looking
like a
nice rectangle.
Ellipse is my take on the always
popular and in-demand 60% keyboard layout. It also marks a
new chapter in my journey in keyboard design.
I thought
about making Ellipse a bit more
different while still
keeping it sleek, modern and versatile.
My goal with Ellipse was to design a board that:
-
Kept in with that minimal & sleek look which so many of us like and chase.
-
Set itself apart from other 60% keyboard designs from a top-down view.
-
Offer true customizability within a single keyboard for the end-user to experiment and build his own preferred setup.
Notable features -
Lovely and unique elliptic curve to the front and back of the keyboard.
-
Compatibility: designed with long-term support in mind. Compatible with Bakeneko60-like PCBs, open-source plate file availability for all layout options.
-
Case layout options: Winkeyless (WKL) or Winkey (WK).
-
Three mounting styles for end-user to explore:
-
Hamburger mount - offering that old-school top-mount with softening the upstroke.
-
Isolation gasket mount - everybody likes a tasty sandwich, heh?
-
O-ring mount - keeping up with the trends and that o-so-nice thock.
-
Hybrid mount (Experimental) - “Hamburger” mount in the back, gasket mount in the front and vice-versa.
-
Typing angle: 6 degrees
-
Case materials: Aluminium case w/ brass accent piece.
-
Plate materials: Aluminium; FR4; POM; Carbon Fiber.
***Comment:*Gaskets will come with light adhesive so they will be easily removable/re-apply-able when switching mounting styles.
