The Ripple TKL
Click this title to see our coming soon page
I know many people have been waiting for details on
the Ripple group buy announcement, and we’re finally ready
to share!
Thank you to everyone who shared their
thoughts on our IC - we’ve listened to your feedback and now
every Ripple will have a 3D weight.
For those
unfamiliar with the design, you can check out our
Coming Soon Page
as well as the previously posted
Interest Check
Inspiration:
I found the
concept of “Ripple” for this keyboard while in the design
process. For some boards, I start with a concept and design
from there. For others - like this one - I played around a
bit with drawings and design elements I could use before
settling on the concept of a Ripple - the movement water
makes when something is dropped in it. From there, designing
the rest of the keyboard fell into place.
The contours
of the top case and weight are meant to mimic water flowing,
a very wavy look. The stepped corner cuts are meant to
resemble expanding concentric circles like those found in a
ripple, and the side cuts match the wavy-ness of the rest of
the top case.
And finally - the weight (which is super
cool) shows a ripple effect.
Mounting:
The plates have tabs to either stick poron to, or put
o-rings around, and the top case has pockets where you can
add Silicone, PE foam, EVA Foam, or Poron.
So there are
8 different combinations you can make - not to mention
countless other “hybrid” combinations. This leads to a
highly customizable sound for the keyboard.
You can
check out some audio-only sound tests I made
here on YouTube
I’m gonna put all the rest of the images in an album
so its easier to read all the GB details here
