Hello there,
I have designed a premium case for the crkbd “Corne” keyboard by u/Foostan. I would like to hear your feedback and know what people want and what the market is like for this idea.
Here is the current design. These are just some quick screenshots from my 3d modeling software; expect more developed renderings as this project progresses. At the end of the imgur album is a photo of the first half of a 3d printed prototype.
The angles of the Corne PCB remind me of the design work of Roberto Burle Marx, a modernist landscape architect from Brazil. My case design draws from his style as well as some other boards I am a fan of in the community. I encourage you to check out his work.
Here are some details so far:
-2 degree incline
-Top mount brass plate, possibly in pc or pom as well
-Big ass brass weight on each half
-Case offered in PC or Anodized Aluminum (proposed colors in the imgur album)
-Estimated weight (including completed pcb, switches and keycaps) for PC is 536.75g and for Alu is 624.60g per half. That’s well over a pound per half for either configuration.
Next Steps:
-Continue to develop the details of this design, more 3d printing and testing.
-Contact manufacturers to determine pricing and schedule for case fabrication.
-Contact vendors that sell corne pcbs to ensure availability for this GB. (I just reached out to u/network_operations aka keyhive yesterday and he is interested.)
-Order prototypes for testing.
-Post an update with finalized renderings and more proto photos.
