Project Details
Hey
Everyone!
This is a project that Exitfailure and I are
both super exited to share with you.
We want to offer
an ergonomic keyboard that sheds the bulky appearance of a
traditional ergo and trades it for something more sleek and
minimal.
We call it the Ergo Encoder. This board was
designed from the ground up with functionality and
appearance in mind.
We first started off with the most
important and most recognizable part of the keyboard, the
encoder. In our initial ideas we settled for a 20mm encoder
which still held the function of today’s 25mm encoder but in
a smaller package. As we kept developing the board however
we decided that the encoder was part of its character and
was something that would make it stick out. Because of this
we added the 25mm knob instead.
The second idea that we
had was around the typing angle. While 5° is not necessarily
bad ergonomically we know that some people prefer to typing
on a flat board. To cater to both of these audiences we
decided that adding some form of removable leg to adjust the
typing angle would be a good idea. This also opens up the
potential for users of the keyboard to make their own to
have a personalised typing angled that suits them more than
5°.
With the keyboard being in interest check we are
open to design changes as long as they are not too major and
don’t take away from the character of the board.
Unfortunately
due to assembly issues we will only be selling around 25 of
the premium aluminum case with no plan of another run. If
there is an overwhelming amount of interest there may be a
second run in the future. However we will be making the
project open source upon completion.
Our current
estimate for the full price of the board is around $375
excluding any add-ons, such as extra plates or different
encoders.
Please take the time to fill out the interest
check so that we can get the most detailed feedback possible
on the keyboard.

Prototype
We will be ordering a
prototype soon and will be updating you guys about it as
soon as we receive it.
