Hello Geekhackers,
Were Mechlovin, a
team of two Mech enthusiasts based in Vietnam and
specialised in providing PCB & Plate solutions. Since
our first Group buy back in last October, we have
successfully run many others, while working with reputable
members of the community in collaboration projects.
Today,
were posting an Interest Check for seemingly unrelated
items: Kyuu PCB & WKL OTD PCB (and possibly plates).
These are projects that were not in our original plans, but
we decided to give them a go thanks to community requests.
We understand there may not be much demand for these
particular products but many owners of these boards seem to
be struggling with finding replacement parts for their
builds, and were all about contributing to the community.
WHY
THESE TWO?
These boards need no introduction. There are
a number of factors leading to the scarcity of their
replacement PCBs:
- The Kyuu PCB, for the most part, is pretty much similar to other 65% PCBs with centered USB port placement. However, the exact position of the USB-C connector is a bit tricky to pin down, and it seems to be a rather tight fit with the case cutout.
-
Regarding OTD PCBs, they have different spacing between
clusters compared with the standard A87 form factor, so
getting it right isnt exactly simple.
WHATS THE PROGRESS? - We have made 3 Kyuu PCB prototypes and sent them to volunteer testers in the US. Were waiting for their feedback, which should come in within the next couple of weeks.
-
Were making the 2nd prototype for the OTD PCB (the first
one failed), and also a replacement plate that fits the
360C for testing. We have access to the original 360C and
will report findings as soon as theyre available.
SPECS & PRICING
PCB is programmable via QMK and VIA
PCB thickness: 1.6mm
Powered by STM32F303 MCU (ARM-Based).
NO underglow RGBs
ESD protection
PCB color: Matte Black (Kyuu) and Red (OTD) solder mask with immersion gold
OTD 360C Plate (not sure if it fits other OTD boards): FR4 and anodised aluminium
The price may be a bit higher than our usual GB price due to the smaller quantity, but well keep it in the range of $50/ PCB.
WHATS NEXT?
As we wait for further feedback and findings, please leave comments on this thread and/or the respective channel on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/jqVbMpM if you have any input.
Were especially interested in information regarding the compatibility of the OTD PCB and plate. The ones we make are compatible with the 360C, and wed like to know what other OTD boards will they work on.
Thank you!
