Our Space80-APOLLO Logo
Introduction
Hello keyboard friends,
it has been several busy months producing and shipping
Space65 CyberVoyager as well as producing Think6.5v2. Now
that the shipping for Space65 CyberVoyager is completed
(some Schrodinger orders still with DHL queue, please email
me if you don’t receive within 2 weeks), and the Think6.5 V2
production is progressing along very well (still projecting
shipping around CNY 2021), it is time for me to start the
Interest Check for the second keyboard of the Gray Studio
Space series keyboard: Space80:APOLLO, the first 80% TKL
layout customized keyboard from Gray Studio.
The
inspiration for the Space series come from the mankinds
audacious exploration of the outer world, which has
significantly influenced me since childhood. Interestingly,
Space65 was actually the latest design I had but was first
to hold a group buy, and Space80 was designed earlier than
Space65, and now it is finally time to bring it to you. And
I think it is a good idea to take the time to finetune the
design and bring the best to you.
Space80 project
started in 2018 and went through many iterations, Space65
and Space80 share similar the design language a relatively
thicker top piece and thinner side profile. The Space80
design looks a bit different, to create more dynamics. And
the top piece features cuts like orbits, and I added a badge
to the top of the arrow keys. It serves as a RGB light
strip, and it can also become a Capslock indicator. The
middle layer again features some cool light effects,
following the Space series theme.
Further, given we
have successfully implemented a top notch typing feel gasket
design for Think6.5 V2, we decided to include a gasket
design on the Space80 as well. We will be sending prototypes
to streamers for live stream builds and typing tests. And
similar to Think6.5V2, the plate for the Space80 will be
using FR4 and PC .
Below are some design images. The
board has went through several iterations of prototypes and
will be sent to streamers soon.
I am sure at this point
there is still some room for improvement. Please kindly let
me know your thought if you will be interested in this, and
your suggestions for the GB and the design. Thank you. If
