Time 80
was the second design of Fox Lab back in 2017.
It has
also become an iconic keyboard design of Fox Lab.
If
theres a keyboard that I would like to run a round 2 GB, its
the Time 80.
Not only I want to make it available to
more people again, but also I can perfect the original
design.
Here comes the Time 80% RE (Reforged)
version.
Time80RE kept most of the original weight design.
The
clock has become thinner now and has a tempered glass
cover.
The front height of the keyboard has greatly
reduced for optimizing for comfort.
The ratio between
the top and bottom cases has been adjusted for a cleaner
side view.
Top mount split plate.
As the
intention is to keep the classic design and improve it, I
used the top mounting structure but with a novel plate
design, the split plate.
The plate of Time80RE has been cut into halves
between R2 and R3.
After the switches are soldered,
both halves of the plate are attached to the PCB
assembly.
The top mounted plate has no metal bridge
between R2 and R3 which results in a much softer bottom
out.
The split plate design was inspired by the half
plate design and leaf spring mount design.
The current
design in the renders is under prototyping.
I will test
the prototype by myself and send one for reviewing if
possible.
Please let me know what materials and colors
you want the most in the group buy.
Anodization,
E-coating, PVD, polycarbonate, and POM are all available.
Ive
noticed that E-white and matte clear PC are the most popular
options, but Id like to diversify the options as much as
possible.
Powder coating will also be available this
time. Ive got prototypes from 7 factories and selected one
with the best quality.
Also please let me know if you
have other questions or suggestions.
