Reposting from the Discord where all the conversation
happens
TLDR - Everything looks great apart from a couple
minor things noted below.
Going to move the position of
the two visible screws by 2/3 and 0/-, these will
be moved outwards one key from the middle to 1/2 and
-/= so they aren’t as visible. Build isn’t final
as I haven’t received the gasket strips yet, so will have
more angles of the proto when they arrive. These have just
finished production and look great, image below.
Valhalla
An ergo 65%, developed
from the ground up. Featuring Noxary DUAL V2 Mount, no
visible screws, and a seamless case design, Valhalla is the
first in Series 3 - the next generation of Noxary boards.
Mounting
The Noxary DUAL V2
Mount uses custom o-ring shaped strips. They sit both above
and below the plate, around the perimeter, to perfectly
emulate two large diameter o-rings. The unique shape of the
strips enable precise control over plate movement, creating
a unique sound & feel.
Layout
Compared to existing
ergo options, the distance between the two halves is
increased ~150%, whilst the alpha tilt is decreased from 12
degrees to 8. Along with the Noxary LEDGE, which lowers the
front height, the typing comfort is improved greatly.
The
bottom row features 1.5 - 1 - 1.5 caps on each side, with a
2.75u spacebar on the left, and 2.25u on the right. The
2.75u can be split into 1.75 - 1u, and the 2.25u into 1 -
1.25u. The traditional options of full or split Backspace,
and regular or stepped Caps Lock remain.
Design
The design is
unmistakably Noxary - a low front & clean side profile.
The DUAL Mount is designed not only to produce a unique
typing experience, but also to hide any screws on the
outside. The front corners made by tilting the alphas have
been curved too. These four elements combined creates the
signature aesthetic.
Connection
The PCB is designed
by Gondolindrim, and has been kept simple. Switches must be
soldered as this provides the best overall typing
experience, and there are no in-switch LEDs. The physical
layout options have been kept to a minimum, and can be fully
programmed through VIA firmware. A USB-C daughterboard is
centrally located between the two alpha halves.

Preorder Information:
The prototype is currently on order, and is expected to be received early-mid October. The units will be sold via preorder on noxary.co via FCFS. The date and time will be announced once the prototype is built. The price will be confirmed within the next 2 weeks, however it is expected to be ~$500. There will be 75 units available for preorder, with no extras being available afterwards. Lead time will be 6 months from preorder closure to delivery.
