Maya TKL
Ne HHKB HG inspo avail??
IC FORM!
DISCORD!
Maya is my take on the ever-popular F12 TKL layout.
It features a gasket-mounted design and a cute little turtle
logo above the arrow cluster.
Case
Maya comes standard in an aluminum top case, bottom
case, plate, and accent piece. It also comes with 3 internal
brass weights. The plate is isolated from the case using
EPDM rubber grommets.
The case is angled 7 degrees and
has a 21 mm front height (as measured from case bottom to
case at keycap row 5). The top and bottom case have each
been angled off in such a way as to give off a slightly
rounded appearance, and are joined at an exaggerated seam. A
unibody accent piece makes up the entire floor of the
internals as well as the accented sections of the bottom of
the keyboard.
Internal sound dampening has been tested,
however, they will not be available during the group buy.
Files for custom cutting foams or fabrics of your choosing
will be available regardless.
Two colorways have been decided upon and prototyped,
FORGE and KANAGAWA. If there is significant support for
additional colorways, they will be considered.
Plate
As
stated previously, the plate will come in aluminum by
default. Half and full plates will be available. Additional
plate materials, including all of the most popular alternate
materials as well as some more obscure ones, are being
tested at this time. FR4 has already made the cut due to its
popularity and will be featured as an add-on.
Plate
files will be made available soon before keyboards are
shipped out to group buyers.
PCB
Maya uses a
traditional F12 function row and is compatible with many
popular F12 PCBs that support a daughterboard, including the
Hiney H87. The bundled PCB designed by Lfgberg also supports
a 10u spacebar and an ALPS EC-11 rotary encoder in the
function row ESCAPE position for those who feel so
inclined.
Note: Although the Maya PCB supports windows keys, Maya
TKL itself will be Winkeyless only.
Prototypes
Here is a typing test for the second
Maya TKL prototype. Its been built with JWK Moss switches on
an aluminum half plate.
Here are some pictures taken of
second-round prototypes. Note that the red case may not be
available during GB unless considerable demand is met.

Group Buy Info
Information subject to change
The group buy is slated to begin Q4 2021 or early Q1 2022.
Current minimum order quantity is 100 units, and a maximum of 200 units will be produced.
The target GB retail price is $450, however this is subject to change.
North American orders will be handled independently. If considerable demand is found outside of North America, proxies may be established.
