Hello everyone again!
Besides the MiCo
[IC] we are currently developing our TELEPORT 60|T1 which
should be a bit cheaper due to a higher edition and a less
elaborate design.
Below you can see the first prototype
of the board. This is white ceracoated - actually we want to
offer only anodized boards for this series (ceracoating we
just offer with the special editions like MiCo60).
Have
a look (no render!):
We are a small keyboard manufacturer from Germany and
in the game since last year. A little backstory can be found
at the end of the post.
As you can see it is seamless
design. So you might think there is just a bottom-plate, but
that is not the case. There is a second milled aluminum (or
brass) part that fills the cavity inside the board. Pics
will follow.
Additionally we are looking forward to
have a clever foam solution inside that supports the
sound.
Now we would like to present the board to the
community and find out what you think of the design. You may
have some nice ideas that will improve the board.
In
detail for now it has the following
specs:
**- Two milled aluminum case
parts (optional bottom part brass)
- 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: black, red, silver (all anodized)
- 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 8th of May’21.
If the interest check was successful, we should be able to launch the Groupbuy around End of May / June!
As the small manufacturer we are (and only producing in Germany), our target quantity is probably 100 boards.
The target price is around 250 . (depends on the results of the IC).
We will ship globally.

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/)
