The GroupBuy
has finally come, AXE 60 and AXE 60 SE have completed the
production under the twists and turns of various internal
and external factors, the complexity of the design has made
the production even more difficult than I expected, but I am
still satisfied with the outcome and thanks to the people
who are still interested in this keyboard.
The GroupBuy
platform will be ClickClack:
https://clickclack.io/
dc channel:
https://discord.gg/clickclack
The gb post with details will be released by
cilckclack.
Also, an all-new keyboard designed by me
will be launched on this platform later.
Quantity and
price:
The sale is divided into 2 parts, 56 units of
AXE 60, and 15 units of AXE 60 SE. The former is an open
lottery method, and the latter is only purchased by those
who pre-ordered.
Configuration:
The anode model is
an anode gray top inner frame, and the electrophoresis model
is an anode gold top inner frame
All keyboards are
soldered version PCB, and a limited quantity of Hot-swap PCB
will be provided as extras.

We did
two batches of prototyping since last update. Finally, we
are happy to say that all production standards are met!
**Prototype
3.0:
**
Brass parts are gold plated to perform
better in anti-oxidation. We also stress corners and sides
in straightness and hardness. Better CNC milling routes for
side brass parts and smaller margin tolerance.

This
month we finally received new prototypes from the new
factory and redesigned PCB from previous IC feedback, and we
also designed the packaging box and deskmat.
Right now
the designing and prototyping phases are done and we are
looking forward to production. Also, Build stream and type
sound coming later this week.

After played God of War 4 on PS4, I deeply fell in love with
the Leviathan Axe and decided to use this theme to design a
custom keyboard kit. I started designing the board in June
and the first idea came to me was to use a TOP-Mount Plate
and GH60 compatible PCB, with a C-to-C extended wire to make
the USB-C out right in the middle.
However, I soon
realized the importance of gasket mount and other soft no
screw mount methods. Hoping to obtain a balanced and better
typing experience, I decided to use an integrated silicon
pad to support the Plate-PCB system and silicon/Poron
top gasket pad on the plate to isolate the system from the
case.
During that time, I tested a large variety of
material with different characters and hardness and I am
satisfied with the current outcomes.
Since it is a Norse themed keyboard, I also spent a
long time on Rune and visual elements.
http://attfreya.com
gave me a lot of inspiration and explanation on different
Runes. I got 4 Runes from word six: ᛋ ᛁ ᚲ ᛋ, and build them
into my personal logo:
Then its the design of the back weight, as well as
the keyboard logo. I decided to generate ideas from
Yggdrasill in Norse mythology. Firstly I got ᚨ ᚲᛋ ᛖ from
word AXE, but I did not get a satisfied logo/weight. As
I read The Art of God of Waron my bookshelf, I noticed that
in the game, there were not only elder Futhark Rune, but
also newer Futhorc Rune, and I found the Rune I want for
letter X:
Besides, I found and interesting Rune:
a combo
of two X Rune structs a new Rune means World Tree
Yggdrasil:
Finally, I used ᚨ ᛉ ᛖ with rotation to get my
favorite logo for AXE, and I made it the weight of AXE：
And for classic verison, I choose the root from World
Tree Yggdrasil braided spreading to the edge of AXE:
The general design of AXE featured hard straight
lines with some smoothness from curves and angles. I did not
find a good solution to suit the side profile until I saw
the Magic Keyboard from Apple:
And in the end I got:
For internal design, I believed that a new mounting
method that not only separates plate with case but supports
the plate stably was needed. My final plan is to use an
integrated silicon pad covering the whole plate and a
traditional top gasket pad separating from the top case.
Also, I provide 8 optional support screws for Hot-Swap
Users.
Thanks for reading my long boring design story.
I
really appreciate your patience and hope you like AXE 60!
