Hey GeekHack!
I am proud to present to you my
retro-inspired steel mechanical keyboard with a handle.
It’s
called the Saturn-60.
*The Group Buy is moving to production! Check the thread
below for updates
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=109090.0
The base kit price is $200. GB will run for 30
days, unless 500 units are sold earlier. A kit comes with
all parts you need to build a Saturn-60 except for
switches, stabilizers, and keycaps.
If you are on a
budget, feel free to just order plates + PCBs since those
could be used outside of the case for a minimalist 60%
build.
Color options are pictured below. Two-toned
orders are ok, and you can upgrade the finish of your
plate, handle and badges.
Plate options: Plain
Aluminum, Black Anodized Alum, Yellow Zinc Plated Steel,
Stainless Steel.
Handle Options: Plain Aluminum,
Black Anodized Alum, Stainless Steel, Brass
Stainless
or Brass Badges
/Default Kit comes with: brushed aluminum Purist plate +
clear anodized alum handle + Stainless badges +
Titan60.
Saturn-60 is a Bottom-Mounted Keyboard
with gasket isolation, and has a floating foam frame
that dampens the upper plate and chassis vibrations.

Layouts?
The Saturn-60 should be able
to support the most popular 60% layouts using different
plates:
ANSI/ISO, 5x15 Ortholinear, 5x14 Boardwalk
Here
are the Layouts:

PCB?
A custom PCB was designed
that can fit any standard 60% case. Its name is Titan60. We
are working on the QMK and VIA support now.
It has a
Type C connector and supports the layouts shown above. Here
are renderings and proto pics:

Who is the manufacturer?
A
sheet metal fabrication shop in Southern California that
does millions of parts per year. We have met with them and
we have confidence in being able to produce this keyboard.
Their stated lead time is around 6-8 weeks. Note: the
pictured prototypes were not made by them, but a machinist
friend. New protos have been received as of 9/2/2020 and
look very close to ready for production.
How many units will be made?
The MOQ is 100 but the GB will be unlimited. This
round will be limited to 500 units. Extras may or may not be
available.
Cost?
Target cost is
between $125-175 $200 for a base kit. Extra parts are
available, extra kits may or may not be. Our philosophy was
to make this simple, affordable and customizable (a
Raspberry Pi 4 fits inside)
Can I make suggestions?
Yes of course, and we appreciate all criticism. PM me
if you have a suggestion or want to collaborate!
Handles?
You will be able to choose from Clear or Black
anodized aluminum, Stainless Steel, or Brass.
Otherwise,
there will be an option without a handle and the holes to
mount them with.
GB Plan:
Vendors:
AceKeyboard.co – North + South America
CandyKeys.com
– Europe + Asia
DailyClack.com – Australia + NZ
Date
for GB is Friday 16.10.2020
I plan to send an email to
those that have already “reserved” one using the IC form or
the sign up list and allow them to checkout before the GB
opens for FCFS.
Email will be sent to confirm the list
within a week.
