Introducing The Canvas 65% LHNP Keyboard
GROUP BUY PAGE OPEN: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=105033.msg2873354/#msg2873354
ORDER FORMS ARE OPEN.
I started this project because I needed a keyboard to replace my worn out $5 Logitech keyboard, and I wanted something a little more practical for CAD work, but there weren’t very many options on the market for keyboards with a left hand number pad; so I made my own. Some friends and coworkers took interest in the board so I’m here to see if others are interested as well to help get the price down below $150 by getting at least 25 people interested.



Details

  • 65% with Left Hand NumPad

  • Case Angle: 7 Degrees

  • Case Material: Anodized 60601-T6 Aluminum

    Approximate Price Breakdown Based on 25 Orders. (USD)

  • Case Base: $64 (includes any color anodize)

  • Case Plate: $8 (includes any color anodize)

  • PCB Manufacturing: $10

  • PCB Assembly: ~$30 (this is a high estimate)

  • Kaihl Hot Swap Sockets: $10

  • 2Mx6mm Screws: $4

  • 4Mx4mm Screws: $5

  • Aluminum Cone Feet: $6
    Total: ~$137 + Shipping
    The case and plate can be anodized in any color, and is included in the price. I will contact 3DHubs for their definite color selection because the RAL colors they offer aren’t accurate to what is actually received.
    The Kaihl Hot swap Sockets are the only piece that will need to be soldered onto the board once it is received.

  • Case design set (based on mahjong tile)

  • Feet/back-design mounting method needs to be chosen

  • Center plate needs mounting holes & small fit changes to be made

  • Thinking about doing powdercoat for the high profile
    (2/17/20) - Case and PCB designs finalized———- PICS OF THE CASE: https://imgur.com/gallery/ldWxSYE

  • PCB is completed and fully quoted ~ $25-30 for manufacturing and assembly

  • Case designs are both completed and ready to be quoted/put into production; I cannot get a good quote at the moment because of all the Corona Virus causing delays with all of Chinese manufacturing

  • Recently ran into a snag with the finishing process for the boards the place i was originally going to get powdercoat done had a fire so i’ll have to check for other locations and get prices: here are colors im thinking of going with (the green, white and black are definites but the others are up in the air; going to offer 5 color options) https://imgur.com/bD4q3oN

  • Back Emblem will be mounted using VHB tape
