The Brick 65





Above image is a PC Brick version. You can put ARGB LED Strips below that PC Brick.
Imagine light coming up from bottom and you put your lego figures on that!

You can check the grooves below the PC brick.

The render on the above image is the initial design of The Brick 65(typing angle with 6 degrees).
Honestly speaking, I like this design much more.
But…if keycaps are put into the keyboard,
the keycaps may hinder the brick. And it will not look so good.
So I raised the brick upper surface 10mm.
But still I am interested on the initial design, and may develop further with a bit higher typing angle.

Various bricks I am gonna make.
I Will provide variety of bricks,
including bricks for artisan keycaps,
bricks for lego figures, tray bricks,
and a brick with function keys and knob(if I can find a PCB supplier to make a PCB which supports all that functions) etc.
If you have a good idea for bricks, please visit my discord server and let me know.

Above pics shows The Brick 65 with a transparent PC brick for artisan keycaps
and a half sized brick.

    Hi everybody!
    This keyboard is called ‘the Brick 65’,
    not only because of you can put your lego bricks on the keyboard,
    but also you can change that huge brick to another one.
    Prototype drawings have been finished, but I will consider and reflect any suggestions from you!
    This is why I have opened this IC although another IC/GB by me is on-going.
    I will start the Brick 65 GB right after ‘Nyaong 75’ GB.
    • MOQ : TBD
    • Estimated Price : TBD
    • Ships worldwide
    Thank you for reading my thread.
    Hope many of you are interested on my keyboard.
    Detailed info can be found on below discord server.

  • ———- Updates ———–
    Below is the final version of The Brick 65.
    I have modified some rounded corners and name plate angle etc.
    There will be no more modification to the outer line.
    So, the design is final!
    (Currently, poll about ‘attaching handles or not’ is on-going in my discord server.
    If attaching handles’ wins, I will put handles to the keyboard. This will be the only modification, if any happens).



    Thanks for reading my thread!
