Hello geekhack!
Tim from Teal Technik here. Many might not be aware of us but we are a tiny business in the community for almost a year(tealtechnik.com). I am a day time software developer nighttime keyboard enthusiast. Want to see if we can bring a new option to the community.
This is a preliminary IC for the following design. We wanted to get feedback on our plans before moving forward with prototyping.
The basic idea for the Teal 40Pad is a fairly standard 40% Keyboard with a numpad, supporting split RShift, split Space (3u), 6u space and split 0.
Layout:


The proposed PCB specs are:

  • Open Source - Designed by u/Gondolindrim

  • Underglow (no PKRGB at this time)

  • USB C

  • Indicator Lights (placed vertically between numpad and modifiers)

  • MX switch compatibility

  • ARM Processor

  • Solderable (no hotswap at this time)
    Also including latest features provided by Gondo’s designs:

  • Overcurrent and overvoltage protections

  • ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection on data lines

  • TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) on the bus voltage power feed

  • Isolation from MCU and bus power rails by means of a pi-filter

  • PCB will be open-sourced and released under the Acheron Project
    For the case:
    Sandwich case option

  • PCB, Switch and base
    Layered Acrylic case - Designed by u/Jolimon

  • High profile

  • Stepped design - top 2 layers stepped inwards

  • Small 3 degree incline built in to case

  • Rounded corners

  • Color Options - clear, smoke, black, white, red

  • Optional 2mm foam dampening layers that go between the plate and the PCB
    Possible 3rd option for a 3d printed case but we would have to probably choose between this and acrylic to keep it simple.
    Other info:

  • PCB design will start once initial IC is complete

  • Pricing target - at or under $200

  • US only

  • Estimated Dates

  • IC 1 - January 2020

  • Prototyping - Feb - Mar 2020

  • IC 2 - March 2020?

  • GB - TBD 2020

  • Shipping - TBD 2020?
