TLDR:
-
One PCB for either Planck or Preonic - bottom row can be snapped off
New bottom row layout
-
In stock GB, but I need to know about hardware and quantity

Pricing:*
If it hasn’t been made clear, these are in-stock and shipping now:
Here are the prices: PCB: $40
CF Planck or Preonic Plate: $25
-
Additional Hardware: $5
Until January 4th, take $10 off the price of the PCB, and $5 off a plate - that’s $50 for a PCB and CF plate with no additional shipping charge if shipped to a US address.
I’ve been using ortho for a few years now but I never have found the bottom row to be useable. The homerow keys and the rows directly above and below the homerow are easy to finger, but the very bottom row 1u keys seem quite out of reach for me. For that reason, After I made a custom PCB for the Panc40 and the Neuron with greater than 1u keys on the bottom row, I decided to try a Planck with a similar layout. Another benefit of using greater than 1u keys on the bottom is that more novelties fit down there. For example, as an ortho user have you ever wanted to use an enter novelty? Now you can and if you are using SA, the row profile most likely won’t be mismatched. -

I’d like to know if I need to include hardware so please fill out this FORM so I can get an idea -
Caveats:*
6 standoffs for the bottom of the PCB will be included. Planck uses 6 and the Preonic uses 5. The screws fasten from the underside of the case, into the bottom of the standoffs and out through the top of the PCB and plate. Hex nuts then can be used to clamp the screws onto the plate. Please note that these hex nuts are optional if you are using standoffs soldered into the PCB. Inversely, you don’t the standoffs if you are adhering the screws by the hex nuts on the plate. I recommend using the standoffs because in either 2.25u spacebar for the Planck, or 2.25u and 3u spacebar layouts for the Preonic, the switches interfere with the installation of the bottom row of hex nuts. However, since the PCB and plate are already secured with the screws into the standoffs, the absence of these two hex nuts has no impact on the usability or performance of the board.
Standoffs will need to be soldered in yourself, which is easy to do. Please make sure they are exactly flat against the board. Here are the standoffs I will be using:

Plates:*
To keep things simple I’ll be offering two plates, 1 for the Planck and 1 for the Preonic. Both will be Carbon Fiber. If you are desperate to have one now, both plates are in stock. Please message me for details.

Please don’t forget to add your email to the form so I can let you know when the PCBs will be in stock.* FORM
