Hey Geekhack,
I’ve been working on 40% keyboard, and wanted to share my progress and get feedback. I am an avid 40-50% keyboard user, and while there are quite a few well-designed staggered boards around that size, I wanted to make something with the features and layout that suited me best. I wanted to combine the features of my favorite sub-60% boards to create a clean, high-quality board with a great sound, unexpected heft, and HHKB blockers. Behold: the Neuron!
Prototype Pictures:
225385-0
220896-1
225389-2
225387-3
Chameleon cerakoted aluminum case prototype: https://streamable.com/up6tn
Supported Layouts:
220339-4
225393-5
220902-6
Features:

  • 2.5 degree polycarbonate or anodized aluminum case. (No separate top and bottom piece: all one piece)
  • Top-mount plate available in sandblasted brass or polycarbonate plate (and possibly acrylic with sufficient interest, holler at me).
  • 5mm thick sandblasted brass weight with NEURON engraving.
  • QMK-compatible black PCB designed by Worldspawn; on-board atmega with USB-C.
  • Supports full-size 6.25u or 2.25u/2.75u split space layouts. No ortho.
  • No LEDs. No in-switch or RGB. Something something compatibility, get a Razer if you want that.
  • Aluminum case with brass plate version should weigh around 2.5 lbs.
  • Estimated cost $230-245
    The polycarbonate and aluminum cases have arrived and being evaluated; so far everything is going smoothly. There is a small run of 15 units being shipped now in a private run for testing, then an open GB will start in October. I am aiming for an October 1st GB start date, with definitely polycarbonate and probably aluminum being offered for case materials. There is a 2:1 preference currently for polycarbonate over aluminum case materials, but sound off if you want it made! The GB will run for a month. Thanks for reading!
