Hey guys! Just dropping a quick IC here for the new
KiwiKeebs Macro!
EDIT:A few photos of the purple
anodised prototype cases here:

WHAT IS IT?
This is the newest
version of the KiwiKeebs MacroBoard kit, but weve made a few
changes.
Its a 6 key hotswap macro board with rotary
encoder sporting a solid CNC aluminium case and chunky knob
- with USB-C!
THE PCB
Soldering a
pro micro or USB-C counterpart was fiddly for new users, we
designed this new PCB to have all these components
integrated.
The only components that require soldering
this time around are the 6 hotswap sockets and the rotary
encoder which is a much simpler
task for someone new to this hobby. I will also offer an
assembly service for a small fee for anyone who isnt
confident.
The board will come pre-flashed with VIAL
and be both QMK and VIA compatible so you can start
customising right away! Note: QMK and VIA dont currently
support rotary encoders but you can custom compile firmware
to change this functionality, this is also why I am
pre-flashing and encouraging the use of VIAL to make this
easier.
THE CASE & KNOB
Both
the case and knob are made from CNC aluminium manufactured
and anodised here in the UK. For the moment the plan is to
run with:
Black (Anodised)
Purple (Anodised)
E-White
E-White
is more difficult for me to get made so it will depend on
the IC and MOQ as to if this is possible!
WHAT DO I GET?
/* 1 x Aluminium Case
/* 1 x Aluminium Knob
/*
1 x Rotary Encoder
/* 6 x Kailh hot swap sockets
/*
1 x PCB
/* 1 x FR4 Plate
/* 1 x KiwiKeebs
Sticker
/* Screws & fittings
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to source your own 6 x Cherry MX switches,
keycaps and USB-C cable.
PRICING
The full kit will come in cheaper than the V1 at £73
+ Shipping providing MOQ is hit!
PLEASE NOTE: If you
require a specific carrier for your country because of COVID
please message after ordering and I can quote you the extra
needed.
**SHIPPING TIME?
**
I tentatively
want to ship these in Q3, but Q4 is a more realistic
goal!
If you want to check out the V1 macro and the 3D
printed kits they are still visible on the site!
