After receiving feedback,
I don’t think I will be able to continue. Although most
feedback was positive, there wasn’t enough feedback to
convince me to order a prototype. There’s another design I
have been working on recently so I will be continuing to
design that (though it isn’t a budget board). Also during
this IC, I realised the people that are willing to pay more
for quality boards outnumber the people who are interested
in a mediocre budget keyboard. I am sorry to disappoint the
people who were genuinely interested in my keyboard but I
felt like if I ran a GB, I wouldn’t have been able to sell
50 units. I know I didn’t even order a prototype which is
probably why I didn’t get much feedback. Few days after
posting my IC, I realised ordering a prototype is a MUST in
order to start a successful interest check. Anyway I will
come back later this year with another IC (with a proto this
time).

(UPDATES)
[09/08/2019] - Fixed edge of the keycaps hitting the
corners of the case
[10/08/2019] - Plate layout is now universal layout

VERY EARLY STAGE - Not even sure if
I will order a prototype, which is why I would like to
receive some feedback on this design from you guys.
I
personally don’t think the design is bad, though i’ve
designed better looking keyboards before it was just that it
was too expensive to produce. This is the final design I
ended up with, something that isn’t too ugly and expensive.
But that is only my opinion. I shared some renders with one
my friends who knows nothing about keyboards and he told me
it looks like S/*/*t. So that got me really interested in
what you guys would think.
Why I want to run a GB for this design :
Gasket mount keyboards are arguably the “best”
feeling keyboards. But normally they are too expensive for
most of the people in the MK community (Okay tbh that’s just
what I assume so I might be wrong but anyway…) So I decided
to work on a gasket mount keyboard that isn’t too expensive.
I wanted to keep the design simple and chose M5 Socket
Screws to give it that “industrial” look if that makes
sense.
and that’s about it
Information on the keyboard case :
- Gasket mount (8 gaskets in total, 4 on top of the plate & 4 on the bottom)
- 6061 aluminium bead-blasted/anodized finish
- Comes in 3 colours : black/grey/silver/(might add Red & Blue depending on what you guys want)
- 7 degree angle
- No HHKB & WKL layouts
- Universal Plate
- Supports split backspace
- Selling 50 units
- Does not include PCB (supports most left sided usb PCB e.g. DZ60)
- Brass/PC plates only atm
-
Uses 6 M5 low head socket cap screws
Estimated Price : $159 (excluding shipping)
(Work In Progress)
-
Fixed the edge of keycaps hitting the corners of the case,
but now the design looks slightly “less clean”, so I am
working on trying to improve to look of it!
