Hello Everyone!
This is an IC for the Minorca and Sebright milled keyboard project. This is a 40% keyboard (Minorca: 43 keys, Sebright: 41 keys) I designed, for which I’ve run several sales. I’ve also worked with Switchtop.com to sell directly on their storefront in the past as a hand-wired incarnation. I partnered with the amazing u/shensmobile to work with the PCB design, and I’ve landed on a preferred case design that I think works very well.
This is going to be a high profile aluminum milled case, with the PCB supporting hotswap and underglow. The switch plate is going to be top-mounted, with 6 circular tabs for added stability. This will have a left-mounted USB location, and uses USB-C as the terminal.
I’m going to have two different layouts ( Minorca and Sebright) on one PCB, two corresponding case options, PCB-mount stabs, and a milled base using a 4° incline. This will also have a frosted acrylic layer for a bit more aesthetic choice, or a brass mid-layer for those that aren’t huge into LEDs. The PCB does support QMK.
I’m interested to hear color preferences (I’d like to branch out to crazy colors if people are interested) as I can accomplish pretty much anything when powder coating.

With this iteration, I’m trying to nail the price at $240 $250 shipped for:

  • 1x Hotswap Panc40 PCB supporting both Sebright and Minorca layouts
  • 1x Minorca or Sebright milled aluminum top frame
  • 1x 4° angle milled aluminum base (compatible with both Sebright and Minorca top frames)
  • 1x Steel topmount switchplate
  • 1x 1.5mm frosted acrylic diffuser
  • 1x USB-C cable
  • 1x set of rubber feet
  • 2x 2u PCB stabs
  • Color treatment
  • Hardware
  • CONUS shipping and handling
  • I tapped up the price to include CONUS shipping and the additions
  • The option to substitute an ortholinear PCB and plate for the staggered version is possible
    Additional parts will be:
  • Additional Minorca/Sebright milled aluminum top frame - $90

  • Additional 4° angle milled aluminum base (compatible with both Sebright and Minorca top frames) - $70

  • Additional Steel topmount switchplate - $28

  • Additional frosted acrylic diffuser - $13

  • Optional 2mm brass layer - $40

  • Additional hotswap Panc40 PCB supporting both Sebright and Minorca layouts - $35

  • Optional ortholinear hotswap PCB and plate - $70
