The Redesign of Magnet Keyboard
Hi guys, we ‘ve received a lot great suggestions from
last IC, and we spend a month to redesign the Magnet, it’s
now ready to meet you .
The great change including: 1 .
change the structure to Gasket Mount 2. Change the layout to
a more regular one , move the big badge in front to bottom
side 3. add a volcano indicator in front face .
Magnet 039
The name MAGNET is from a story of immigrating to Mars
Magnet
is man-made Magnet Field which protect the Mars atmosphere
from solar wind
And 039 means 39 min that a day on Mars
more than on Earth, it’s free, private time with no
response, no supervision carnival.
The first expedition
team including four kinds of experts - Geologist,
Astronomer, Mechanical Engineer, Biologist, and they take
the mission of build a livable environment on Mars.
SPEC
- Typing Angle: 5.7 degree
- Layout: 65% , WK/WKL
- Anodic Aluminum (the body) and brass PVD(the ornament) ,acrylic Bluetooth window (the glowing circle on the left side)
- Structure： Gasket mount, Individual battery cabin
- Plate: PC/Aluminum individual plate
- Dimensions: L x W x H = 354 mm x 114mm x 30mm
- weight: TBD
- Wireless and also get USB type - C
Features
<Volcano like Individual indicator lights which shows all
kinds of status including charging , Bluetooth connection
status and so on >
<Acrylic Bluetooth window on
the side with LED lights, like a thruster, which is elegant
and at the same time ensure the wireless signal good >
<Changeable
badges on the bottom side, and it got four different themes
including Geology, Astronomy, Mechanics, Biology>
<Gasket
mount with very limited space under PCB, so it will keep the
pleasant uniform typing feel and solid sound with no inner
cavity echo>
Introduction of the design
let ‘s
start from structure, we made a integrated mount at the
previous version, because we got a lot design elements at
the side face of the keyboard like the Bluetooth window and
the identity badge , the Quote badge, plus with the
suspended Top case, integrated mount is a more labor-saving
choice ,but for making a better typing feel, we decide to
change it to Gasket Mount which means there is a lot tough
problems to resolve, and finally we work out to build a
beautiful solution.
There are eight silicon gel gasket in between the
plate and Top case / Bottom case each side, the gasket is
wider than plate, which will keep space in between to avoid
rigid touch.
We want the Bluetooth window is not just a signal
window hole, but with both elegant and function, so we made
a more complex structure in it, it will with beautiful
lights, and wont let the light spread out to top face.
and there will be a individual Bluetooth PCBA on the
bottom case, the antenna will point to Bluetooth window to
make a better signal.
Volcano like Individual indicator lights which shows
all kinds of status including charging , Bluetooth
connection status and so on.
There is press button on
the side of the volcano ,when you press it ,the volcano will
turn up ,and you can pick it up to switch it.
On the
surface of the volcano center ,there are thousands of micro
holes on it ,which will make sure the light uniform
distribution.
and we will try the volcano with different materials
like Aluminum/Brass/Acrylic for different glowing effect.
We move the identity badge to back side and as before
it including four different themes including Geology,
Astronomy, Mechanics, Biology, and you can choose any one at
the GB standard version.
And also the Quote Badge “ Do no go gentle into that
good night “
Color Choice Renderings
BLUE
GREEN
WHITE
YELLOW
And We are catching up with more colors for make IC
check, and I ‘ll update the IC from and more color
renderings later.
UPDATE
this is a an additional option of the indicator , it’s
called reactor ,the original volcano indicator is still
available , just wanna see which do you like better.

MOVING FORWARD 1. Get the feedbacks and fix the final
design.
2. The Case/PCB/lights/other necessary
materials are all send to making simples, and will test the
structure , typing feel , lights effect on estimate 10th Jan
, and also I’ll make the assemble video and typing video
,and update here .
3. When all we tested all structure
, typing feel , lights effect is no problem , We’ll Start
Group Buy (last for 3-4 weeks)
4. Get the volume
production( 8 -12weeks).
And I’ll continually attach
more design details here , all kinds suggestions will be
appreciated
