Hi all!
I’m JagdPietr (Ya-gid-pyi-ter), a long-time lurker here on GH and I hope you take a look in my board design.
The Drakon
242428-1
242430-2
Specs:

  • Burger Mount
  • 7 degree typing angle
  • Custom designed Plate (Brass, Alum, or PC)
  • 0.91” OLED Display (Vertical Positioning)
  • Rotary Encoder with 4 Directional Presses (N, S, E, W) and center push
  • USB-C with ESD Protection Support
  • Custom Badge
    The Mounting:
    More

Having tried and used the burger mounting, I decided to make it as this board’s mount-type. The said mounting type greatly reduced pings from the switches and plate, as what I observed in some of my boards.
The Layout:
242432-3

I really designed this board to accommodate my personal preferences. During the first phase of the design, I eliminated some keys that I don’t really use: Right Alt, Right Ctrl, and Menu key. I instead included a nav cluster with .25u blockers, Fn key, and another key to balance the lower row. I also decided to make the Right Shift to be 1.25u to accommodate the nav cluster.
The Design:

This keyboard has its design cues from other notable and well-known boards such as Satisfaction75 and Evolv75. But I think the main difference is that this is a 60% with the OLED on a non-conventional place. This is because of the PCB space accommodation, bezel adjustment, and the viewing angle.
PCB Space accommodation – The total surface area of the PCB is very limited, and to save space I put the OLED in that area.
Bezel adjustment – Having thick bezels means much costly manufacturing, so thinner bezels are for reducing the cost.
Viewing Angle – The OLED is put in that area so that viewing it is not that hard. Plus, the user should be able to see the display without having to lean forward.
Colors:
Matte/Glossy Blue
Matte/Glossy Black
(subject to changes, depending on the suggestions)
Pricing:
TBD (I’m targeting sub-400usd)
Status:
PCB – done/design ready for manufacturing
Case – done/design ready for 3d printing for adjustments
Group Buy?
TBD
Additional Notes:
Actually, due to the fact that I cannot order PCBs below than 5, I’ll be running a 3-kit acrylic version GB on my local group. Maybe I’ll be pursuing an alucase GB if this is received well :). I really plan on buying and funding the case first than relying solely on renders in the future.
Better renders will all be added after some time because of some financial hurdles, so please bear with me for a while :D
I’m all positive for feedbacks, so here’s the form if interested: https://forms.gle/93r3Q5ioQQRUctQ26
