Hi everyone!
We are a small keyboard manufacturer from
Germany and in the game since last year. When we
experimented with Cerakote, we realized that the mint of our
prototype perfectly matched a copper plate that was still in
our workshop. Philip immediately set about polishing the
copper plate. The idea for the MiCo was born. (see the pics
below, no render!)
A idea from the community: What do you think about that
new colorway? May we should rename in Bu(rgundy)Co60 …
Now we would like to present the idea to the
community and find out what you think of the design. As a
base for the board we could use our standard 60% with gasket
mount.
In detail it has the following
specs:
**- Mounting: gasket-mount with
brass weights as support (see exploded view)
- Mounting plate: polycarbonate, aluminum or brass
- Typing angle: 6°
- Front height: 17 mm
- Possible tops: WK, WKL, HHKB
- Case color: mint (ceracoated) + polished copper bottom-plate
- Possible Keyboard-Layouts with Teleport PCB: Ansi and Iso layouts for Standard, Tsangan, Arrows, HHKB, WKL (Stepped Caps, Split-Shift right and Split-Backspace, see pics below)
- Connector: USB-C connector with daughterboard for a horizontal cable exit
-
Lights: none**
We have prepared a Google form for the interest check. Please let us know what you think of the idea/board, what other suggestions you might have, where you are from, etc. In any case, interested or not - we are looking forward to your answers and are excited about the results, which we will discuss with you in two weeks! End of the IC is the 28th of April ‘21.
If the interest check was successful, we should be able to launch the Groupbuy around May!
As the small manufacturer we are (and only producing in Germany), our maximum quantity is 100 boards. From 25 boards the groupbuy could take place.
The target price is around 300 - 350 (excl. taxes). (depends on the results of the IC).
Currently we only ship within EU, but we´ll try to make them available to a broader audience, so no one feels left out.
As a quality reference you can have a look at our current Groupbuy - the MKD-Custom 60%. (https://www.theteleport.de/en/collections/teleport-60-mkd-edition/products/mkd-60-board)
And the related typing video (raw! no post production)

For the ones interested in us, here´s a little
backstory:
We´re a bunch of three, who got sick of the stock
keyboards and found ourselves deep down the rabbit hole of
custom keyboards during the end of 2019. What started as a
project between two brothers and a childhood friend turned
into something we figured we could share with the community.
We went from, what we call the beer prototype, towards our
first CNC-Milled prototype and finally our first complete
custom keyboard. Now we want people to be able to use the
case as a base for their own project, that´s what the DIY
kit is for. We may consider special wishes, just get in
touch and we´ll see what we can do. (https://www.theteleport.de/en/)
