ASK55
TheAlps 14.5u custom
Pre-launch IC now live!
Backstory and Origins:
In
Summer 2018, I fell in love with the Apple M0116 keyboards
and layout. I explored the options available to make a
modern, sleek keyboard using the gorgeous keycaps and Alps
switches. There was nothing readily available, unlike for
the AEKII. After quickly realising that a regular 60% case
for the Alps64 wasn’t going to cut it, the ASK55 was
born.
Over the last year, I’ve worked hard and spent a
lot of time with some great people. I went away and
developed 9 x 14.5u plates for the M0116, M0118, M0330, Mac
Portable, IIc (and IIc with additional bottom row 1u key),
IIc Plus and both NeXT non-ADB layouts with help from
generous community members who loaned me the keysets for
testing against.
The case has gone through numerous
revisions but we’re finally at a point where we’re happy
with our product. Thus, a year on, we’re looking to see if
there’s enough hype to make it possible!
