Hi Everyone! Here’s a board that I’ve been working on for some time now. Like the title says, it’s a 75% with an extra Macro Column on the side, support for Dual Encoders or one encoder plus OLED. Hotswap is currently in the works. I want to offer at three price points, which will be a sandwich style with FR4 plates, one with 3D printed case, and one with an Alu Machined case. The Alu version will be gasket mounted.
PCB Design is currently done(except for hotswap) and I’m currently looking for manufacturing quotes.
Here’s an imgur album that has an early 3D printed prototype, before the layout had a spaced out nav cluster.
