Prototype
The Orange Boy Ergo (OBE) is a barebones
ergonomic/Alice-like kit we designed to be super affordable
for people who want to try out the layout without shelling
out. Similar to our previous products, this will be an open
FR4 sandwich board. The OBE will use a BlackPill development
board in the same way other kits use ProMicros. BlackPills
are a little cheaper than ProMicros currently and they use
USB-C.
The plate is symmetrical and the kit features a
couple of very cute cat graphics. Are those 2 facts strange
to mention in the same sentence? Well, one of the cat
graphics contains a characteristic that sparked a very
heated debate in our Discord server and the symmetrical
plate allows you to install it reversed to completely hide
the artwork.
Artwork in question
We are looking at options to produce a stacked
acrylic case although nothing is set in stone right now.
Currently,
we are expecting the kit price to be $40 for the group buy;
the price will decrease if there is enough interest. The
price will be reevaluated when it is put in stock.
The
base kit includes:
- 1x Black Pill dev board.
- 1x PCB
- 1x Bottom Plate
- 75x Diodes (70 are needed for the kit)
- 2x Status LEDs
- 2x Resistors for the status LEDs
- 6x Standoffs
- 12x Screws
-
4x Rubber Bumpons (feet)
In order to allow for the cheapest base kit possible there will NOT be a plate OR encoder/knob included.
FR4 Plate, encoder, and knobs will be available as add-ons.
FR4 plate expected pricing is approx $8. This is subject to change depending on cost increases.
The kit is made with being plateless in mind and aims to not look or feel like doodoo without one.
QMK powered like normal. You know the drill.
Layout options include split backspace, and split right shift which allows the use of an arrow cluster.
