Welcome (back) to the Interest Check for the 45-ATS.
I’ve been away for a while.
Sorry about that.
Announcements
Aluminum prototypes have arrived and all is well, minor adjustments are being made. Working on pricing and GB date. ;) (Dec, 5 2019)
Ortho has been ditched for this board, sorry guys. I felt that with more and more ortho options hitting the market I’ll be keeping this closer to what I had in mind for it. (P.S. Buy The Ave.)
As of right now looking to be 50 public slots with a combination of FCFS and raffle, 5 saved for auction.
Layout

Details
The 45-ATS is a layout I dreamed up when I was between my JD45 and KBD19X.
This board is a topmount design and rocks a 6 degree typing angle.
There will be no brass weight on this board and will only be produced in aluminum. For now.
Colors are on vote but guaranteed [E-White],[Black or Grey],[Silver].
Renders
These are the most recent renders that represent this keyboard.
I’ve learned a lot about case design since I started this and I thought some changes needed to be made.
While I was there, I thought I would change some of the aesthetic.
I rounded up the corners, made the front height lower if everything works out. Should be about 17mm.
LED indicators added.







VOTE AGAIN FOR COLORS HERE (BECAUSE I NEED EMAILS OOPS):
Interest Check Google Form
To do list:
Gauge new interest on colors to see if scope has changed (also because I forgot to collect emails last time lol).
Get artwork for PCB finished.
More renders.
More hype.
More teasing.
