6. FAQ (PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS)
Why this layout?
I wanted to provide a similar amount of functionality
that a TKL would bring but in a more compact form.
Everything apart from the main alpha cluster has been
separated to be able to navigate it easier but still be
within easy reach. The top right corner has been blocked
because I found that you had to move your hand a lot to be
able to reach it (I would be using my index finger for
this key). All separations are 0.25u for consistency.
Will there be a WKL blocker version?
I probably won’t be adding this option for a few reasons.
First is that the design is catered towards my personal
preferences and I am a WK user and I don’t want to deal
with an SKU for the machining and lastly, I don’t like the
look of uneven blockers (Dixie did good with the Bauer
layout).
Will there be a WKL 7u layout or 2x3u splitspace?
The layout below was considered but I opted not to
include it because it messed up the footprints on the PCB
due to the overlaps and I only want to provide one
plate.
Likewise for splitspace - the 2 inner stab
holes overlap the centre switch mount area on the PCB.
How about ISO?
As with the above, I’ve opted not to include ISO support
because of how it messes with the footprints for ANSI and
as selfish as it sounds, this a design that is tailored to
my personal preferences and is optimised for that.
Will hotswap be available?
Sorry, only one type of PCB will be available due to its
complexity and it would also split quantities which would
affect pricing.
Why the gap between the top and bottom?
It is to avoid a standard butt-seam. In architecture, if
there is a change in material, there is usually something
to mediate between it which we call a negative detail or
we’d use a trim. Also, I was aiming for a detail where the
shadow line merges into the cutout for the USB port as per
the below.
Will there be per key RGB or backlighting?
There won’t be any RGB or backlighting provided. The only
way to get backlighting would be to solder your own
in-switch LEDS.
Can you do some more renders?
I stopped doing renders after deciding on which colours I
want to offer. If you are wanting renders done of your
keyset, you can ask Abec who I’ve sent render files of the
7V to.
Do you have a discord server?
I don’t have the time to maintain a server but there is
an unofficial channel dedicated to the 7V on the Daily
Clack discord server
