**Presenting Alter
**
Alter features a sleek
design without any complicated curves or cutouts. The goal
of this case is to be cheaper than previous GBs of Alice
clones.
This kit will be sold through kbdfans as an in-stock
item. After selling the pre-made units, we plan to run a
group buy.
Details about the case:
- 3 piece design (top case, top mount plate, bottom cover)
- Top piece is anodized 6063 aluminum (Tentative)
- Wedge shaped bottom cover with brass weight
- PCB included
- Compatible with top mount usb port ONLY
- Top/Burger mount. Uses the same plate as the original Alice + regular caps lock support (not reflected on renders but will be edited)
- 7 degree typing angle
-
18.5mm front lip height (not including the height of
bump-ons)
Tentative Price: 300$ or less for kit with PCB
Colors: TBD

May 14,2020 Update
Just a small
update, there’s a potential partnership with KBDfans. This
means that the keyboard will be an in-stock item and will
not be offered via GB. This ensures that it will be sold at
the lowest price possible and with minimal logistical
issues. At this point, the quantity is to be determined but
it will be based on the demand during the IC phase.
With
regards to the design, I already have a 3D printed prototype
as well as a pcb. So far, the plate and pcb fits. An
aluminum proto will be produced by KBDfans in the following
months. I have a few changes on the case but it’s just some
small details. Overall look will still be the same.
Since
it’s an in-stock item, we’re planning to just offer one
material for the plate and bottom piece. For the plate, it
will be brass. Other plate material might be offered as an
add-on. For the bottom cover, we’re choosing between thick
angled aluminum or standard 3mm flat brass. We plan to make
a proto of the two types of bottom cover to compare.
