Interest Check Form
Updates

22.5.2021 Based on feedback from the IC
form and from the comments here, I updated the layout to
support an encoder in either the macro column or the nav
cluster, and I also added split right shift support. I also
decided to not include the encoder and knob in every kit,
but instead make it an optional addon. See pricing section
for more details.
Intro
Hello everyone,
This
is a project that started as a personal thing roughly 5
months ago, and after having multiple people express
interest, I decided to post an IC. It’s inspired by the
likes of the Discipline and Mysterium from CFTKB.
Please
note that photos are of a prototype and some things have
since been changed for revision 2. The renders show the
final version.

Features
It consists of an FR4 bottom plate, the
PCB and an FR4 Switchplate, supports only MX Style switches,
both PCB and plate mount.
The kit would include
everything needed to build it, including a metal knob and an
encoder, acrylic guard for the forehead, acrylic angling
feet and a 0.91” 128x32 oled display.

the final version can be seen here:

What’s been changed since the first prototype?
/*
Removed the small IO expander chip as I’ve managed to make
everything fit without it
/* Moved the encoder
into the nav cluster
/* USB port is now
centered
The Layout
When deciding on the layout I
drew inspiration from
Protozoa Studio’s Foundation.
There’s a macro column on the left side, options for
standard/tsangan bottom row, stepped/regular caps
lock, split/regular backspace and ANSI/ISO.
Only
one encoder at a time is supported.

Color options
There will only be one colorway
available at this time, unless I get a lot more interest
than I expect. That colorway being
Black FR4 substrate with Clear soldermask.
Big thanks to dudeship for the renders.

I chose this colorway because I think it fits in
quite well into the exposed electronics theme with the
visible copper traces, plus it’s pretty unique.
Target
Pricing and MOQ
95 without shipping and taxes for the
whole kit without a knob, with an 8 optional metal knob.
This
is not set in stone, if there’s enough interest I may
increase the MOQ to lower prices a bit.
With the black
FR4 and clear soldermask comes an MOQ of 150 to make it
somewhat reasonably priced.
Open Source
I doubt
the design files would be of much use to many people, as the
PCB was designed in Altium, however I’ll consider making the
Gerber files available on GitHub after the Group Buy (if I
make it to that stage)
How to keep up with updates?
I’ll
post updates both here and on my discord:
