Intro
Hello, Geekhackers,this isCrazy Designers from China!
Just like our name, we are a team of crazy designers, and the [CYBERBOARD] is a big project now we’re working on. The inspiration comes from the Cybertruck of Tesla.

After we received the last prototype, we are not satisfied for some reasons. and we have been working hard on it :)
We all know that the LED panel is a really interesting point. The slot to locate the LED panel is so complicated at first place that we change it to be magnetic finally.

Close-up display of LEDs and its lattice:

When I got the prototype of the cyberboard, I built it with carbon plate and the holypanda switches, and it is just not satisfying me.

So, we improved the structure. Based on top mount, we made some optimizations. For example, we added some silicone to the suspension.

To ensure the typing experience, we tried making a silicone pad specially for CYBERBOARD (current testing).
It can fill the gap between the plate and PCB (as you can see in the photo below )

WE HAVE DESIGNED A CASE FOR CYBERBOARD !! so its basically what it looks like, and we are discussing the color of the fonts / case



the prototype of the case:

We are confirming the color options we will finally sell, and we have now received two prototypes —— space grey and black. After receiving all the prototypes (8 colors), we will select satisfactory ones as the final options.

Specs & FAQs:

  1. LEDs:
    Programmable(you can customize the pattern like time, wavy lines and other not too complicated effects)
    Resolution - 5/*40
    Supports USB 3.0
  2. Mounting method: Top mount (optimized)
  3. Weight: 2.4kg
  4. Dimensions: 340.5 x 181 x42.2mm
  5. Case: 6063 aluminium alloy
  6. Machining: CNC and anodization
  7. PCB: Hot swappable
  8. Layout: ANSI layout
  9. The angle of the diagonal face: 10°
    Is it hard to power CYBERBOARD because of the LEDs?
    Maximum power consumption of the LED panel will be limited to 400 mA.
    Will the led part of your board be removable in case i want to powdercoat/cerakote the case?
    Yes,we make it magnetic so its quite easy to take off
    Will switches require extra support legs to fit the CYBERBOARD?
    we support 3-pin switches as well as 5-pin switches
    Not based on QMK?
    We’re sorry we didn’t say anything about QMK in the first place…we used a close source MCU, please check the GH thread or discord announcements for more info
    I have seen the wrist rest in your early renders. Can we buy one if we want it?
    Sorry we won’t make wrist rest.
    Is this fully assembled or just DIY kit?
    It’s a DIY kit which means keycaps or switches are not included.
    Unlimited group buy?
    Sorry it’s limited.[/size]
    Attention
    Cyberboard is not based on QMK. We did not have the ability to handle QMK transplantation at that time, so we used ready-made commercial solutions-we used [SN32F248B] as the MCU. This MCU uses close source firmware with independent intellectual property rights.
